mortality/aging
• incomplete but high penetrance of lethality

integument
• increased apoptosis in developing hair follicles of skin at P4 but no difference in the proportion of apoptotic cells restricted to upper suprabasal layers of the interfollicular epidermis
|
• 10-20% decrease in the number of proliferative keratinocytes in early hair follicles at P4, but no difference in the interfollicular epidermis
|
• significant decrease in the thickness of the skin hypodermis from P4 onwards, resulting in reduced skin thickness
|
• skin displays a reduced number of hair follicles at the advanced stages of morphogenesis and increased number of early hair germs and hair pegs, however total hair follicle number was normal
|
• at P4, the number of early hair germs and hair pegs, characterized by the presence of mesenchyme at their base, is increased
|
• follicular growth is significantly delayed by P4 and P7, even though the first hair coat is indistinguishable from wild-type
