skeleton
• cranial vault is deformed due to premature fusion of the endochondral growth plates
|
• growth plate maturation in the sternum and forearm is accelerated, where nearly all chondrocytes in the growth plate are consumed by premature differentiation
|
• premature endochondral ossification at E18.5
• growth plates separating the sternebrae are prematurely ossified, resulting in complete ossification along the length of the sternum
• entire vertebrae are ossified due to premature fusion of the growth plates between the vertebral body and the lateral vertebral processes
|
craniofacial
• cranial vault is deformed due to premature fusion of the endochondral growth plates
|
limbs/digits/tail
• growth plate cartilages of the limbs are inappropriately ossified, resulting in distortion of the forelimb
|
