mortality/aging
• life span of the rest is about 6 months
• less than half survive past 3 weeks of age

growth/size/body
• the molar crypt is choked with bone and the teeth are distorted, however the ameloblast layer is intact and the enamel is deposited
• tooth morphogenesis is normal in late gestation but by birth, incisors are impacted and by 1 week of age, the molars are also impacted
• failure of tooth eruption leading to the absence of external incisors and molars
• incisors and molars are impacted
• teeth become irreversibly ankylosed because of the fusion of the dental cementum with the encroaching alveolar bone
• enamel is absent from the labial surface of the incisor
• the ameloblast layer of incisors is missing
• failure of root formation
• mutants fail to thrive and exhibit a 50% reduction in both size and weight by the time of weaning
• with increasing age, display a progressive short-limbed dwarfism

limbs/digits/tail
• foreshortening of the limbs is apparent by 8 weeks of age

vision/eye
• shallow eye sockets
• shallow eye sockets cause ocular proptosis

craniofacial
• with increasing age, display doming of the calvarium
• shallow eye sockets
• the molar crypt is choked with bone and the teeth are distorted, however the ameloblast layer is intact and the enamel is deposited

• foreshortened mandible
• foreshortened maxilla

mortality/aging

growth/size/body
• malocclusion allows for unchecked growth of the lower incisors
• as a result of the chondrodystrophy in the skulls, the lower mandibular incisors protrude beyond the upper incisors
• upper incisors remain partly occluded and are less affected
• however, incisors and molars erupt normally and on schedule
