N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• affected females display an abnormal gait due to abnormal angulation of the hips and knees

limbs/digits/tail
• medial displacement of the acetabular cavity
• affected females display shortened hindlimbs
• affected females display shortening and bowing of the long bones in the hindlimbs
• all (6 of 6) homozygous females display shortened femurs in the hindlimbs
• all (6 of 6) homozygous females exhibit elliptical tail vertebrae

skeleton
• chondrocytes and remnants of the growth plate are found in the mineralized trabeculae, indicating impaired osteoclastic bone resorption
• affected females display shortening and bowing of the long bones in the hindlimbs
• all (6 of 6) homozygous females display shortened femurs in the hindlimbs
• all (6 of 6) homozygous females exhibit elliptical tail vertebrae
• affected female homozygotes display a significant increase in the width of unmineralized epiphyseal growth plate
• affected female homozygotes exhibit a significant increase in hypertrophic zone width
• affected female homozygotes exhibit decreased bone width in the central metaphysis, and increased trabecular bone volume in the proximal metaphysis
• all (6 of 6) homozygous females display a smaller pelvis with medial displacement of the acetabular cavity
• medial displacement of the acetabular cavity
• 2 of 6 homozygous females display rib exostoses at the costochondral junctions
• affected females show reduced bone density in the pelvic bones and shaft of the proximal femur
• affected females show reduced bone density in the shaft of the proximal femur
• affected females exhibit cortical thinning
• 2 of 6 homozygous females display rib exostoses at the costochondral junctions
• Von Kossa staining of undemineralized sections of mutant tibiae indicated delayed mineralization at the growth plate
• mineralization progresses gradually, with minimal calcification in the most proximal regions
• very wide osteoid seams are observed, indicating prolonged mineralization lag time
• affected female homozygotes show a dramatic increase in osteoid width relative to wild-type controls
• mutant cortical osteoid is not covered by osteoblasts, unlike in wild-type controls
• affected female homozygotes display delayed cartilage calcification in the hypertrophic zone and epiphyseal end of the growth plate
• affected female homozygotes exhibit reduced bone resorption as shown by an increase in hypertrophic zone width and increased cartilage remnants within the secondary spongiosa

homeostasis/metabolism
• affected female homozygotes exhibit significantly lower serum calcium levels (2.27 +/- 016 mmol/L) than wild-type controls (2.47 +/- 0.05 mmol/L)
• affected female homozygotes display features of hypophosphatemic rickets
• affected female homozygotes exhibit significantly higher serum alkaline phosphatase levels (497 +/- 121 IU/l) than unaffected wild-type controls (192 +/- 15 IU/l) or affected heterozygous females (338 +/- 61 IU/l)

immune system
• chondrocytes and remnants of the growth plate are found in the mineralized trabeculae, indicating impaired osteoclastic bone resorption

hematopoietic system
• chondrocytes and remnants of the growth plate are found in the mineralized trabeculae, indicating impaired osteoclastic bone resorption
