• synchondrosis of some bones

• synchondrosis

• synchondrosis of some vertebrae

• absent
|
• absent
|
• no organized growth plate is seen instead hypertrophic cells are located in the center of the cartilage surrounded by undifferentiated chondrocytes
• at E16.5 there is about a 50% decrease in proliferation of chondrocytes
|
• synchondrosis of some bones of the skull base, vertebrae, and sternum
|
• in the long bones
• dysregulation of chondrocyte maturation
|
• at E18.5 in the radius mineralization occurs in the center of the cartilage and not associated with a bone collar
• only hypertrophic chondrocytes located in the center of the cartilage show signs of mineralization
|
• in general mineralization is delayed until E16.5, with severely affected bones showing greater delays
• mineralization of the radius is initiated in the center of the cartilage at E18.5
• at E18.5, dorsal portions of the ribs and distal parts of the long bones show essentially no mineralization
• however, intramembranous bone formation appears normal
|
limbs/digits/tail
• failure of digit segmentation

• detectable at E14.5
