skeleton
• all homozygotes have at least a few alterations to the axial skeleton characteristic of posterior transformations; however, the skull is similar to wild-type
• an ectopic bone floats between the occipital bones and the first cervical vertebra
• the sternum is shifted cranially
• the 7th rib pair are detached from the sternum and the 13th rib pair are missing or floating
• ectopic ribs are associated with C7 in 67% of homozygotes
• C7 ectopic ribs are imperfect and fused to the middle part of the first ribs; the rest of the ribs are perfect and directly associated with the cranially shifted sternum
• the odontoid process is fused to the first cervical vertebra (C1)
• the dorsal part of the C1 is often bifurcated
• the dorsal part of C2 is often bifurcated
• the thoracolumbar and lumbosacral boundaries are shifted anteriorly
• a prominent spinous process normally associated with the second thoracic vertebra (T2) is associated with T1 in all homozygotes
• in the lateral view C2 resembles C3
