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
short limbs
(
J:50144
)
• foreshortening of the limbs is apparent by 8 weeks of age
|
vision/eye
• shallow eye sockets
|
exophthalmos
(
J:50144
)
• shallow eye sockets cause ocular proptosis
|
craniofacial
