mortality/aging
• mice were born at the expected Mendelian ratios at birth, however nearly 50% of homozygous mice were dead shortly after birth
• the pups dead neonatally had milk in their stomachs suggesting they were live born and initially able to feed
|
• genotype at weaning showed greater loss of homozygous mutants indicating that a majority of mutants died within the first few days of life
|
growth/size/body
• the difference in weight corresponds to an overall difference in size
|
• weights of mutant newborn pups were significantly smaller than control litter mates
• mutant mice were consistently smaller than their litter-mates
|
skeleton
• carpal fusions between the second distal carpal, centrale and the third distal carpal
|
• fusion between the fused radiale and intermedium and the ulnare in some mutants
|
• fusion between the fused radiale and intermedium and the ulnare in some mutants
|
• fusion of the sternum of mutants between all sternebrae and the manubrium
|
• aberrant mineralization in the neural arches leading to fusions between individual vertebrae in newborns
• vertebral fusions throughout the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions in the 60 days old mutants
|
limbs/digits/tail
• carpal fusions between the second distal carpal, centrale and the third distal carpal
|
• fusion between the fused radiale and intermedium and the ulnare in some mutants
|
• fusion between the fused radiale and intermedium and the ulnare in some mutants
