growth/size/body
• surviving mutant mice weigh about 25% less than wild-type and heterozygous littermates from 3 to 24 weeks of age
|
• in surviving homozygous offspring of F5 matings, growth deficiency is apparent soon after weaning age
|
craniofacial
• mutant mice show abnormal shape of calvaria
|
limbs/digits/tail
• femora of 2-month male mutant mice display altered cortical and trabecular structure on CT analysis
|
• femoral cortical bone is thinner
|
• decreased cortical area in femora
|
short femur
(
J:226318
)
• at 8 weeks of age, mutant femoral lengths are reduced 7% versus wild-type mice and heterozygotes (p<0.00004)
|
• a modestly enlarged marrow space is seen in mutant femora
|
short tibia
(
J:226318
)
• at 8 weeks of age, mutant tibial lengths are reduced 10% versus wild-type mice and heterozygotes (p<0.02)
• mutant mice do not have rhizomelia; the ratio of femoral to tibial length is comparable to wild-type (0.8860.020 vs 0.8610.035, p=0.07).
|
short limbs
(
J:226318
)
• mutant mice show shortened limbs
|
mortality/aging
• 30 and 50% lethality of homozygous pups from F4 and F5 matings is seen, likely due to respiratory insufficiency from abnormal rib cage structure
|
skeleton
• mutant mice show abnormal shape of calvaria
|
• femora of 2-month male mutant mice display altered cortical and trabecular structure on CT analysis
|
• femoral cortical bone is thinner
|
• decreased cortical area in femora
|
short femur
(

• at 8 weeks of age, mutant femoral lengths are reduced 7% versus wild-type mice and heterozygotes (p<0.00004)
|
• a modestly enlarged marrow space is seen in mutant femora
|
short tibia
(

• at 8 weeks of age, mutant tibial lengths are reduced 10% versus wild-type mice and heterozygotes (p<0.02)
• mutant mice do not have rhizomelia; the ratio of femoral to tibial length is comparable to wild-type (0.8860.020 vs 0.8610.035, p=0.07).
|
• mutant mice show a deformed and flared rib cage which is more severe in pups that die after birth
• at 2 months of age, the rib cage of both heterozygous and homozygous mice has a narrow apex and drooping ribs at the base, providing limited space under the ribs for abdominal contents, which puff out the abdomen
|
• mutant mice have decreased areal BMD of vertebrae (p=0.02)
|
• mutant mice have decreased areal BMD of femora (p=0.001) and vertebrae (p=0.02)
|
• mutant mice have decreased areal BMD of femora (p=0.001)
|
• trabecular bone volume is half of wild-type
|
• reduction of femoral trabecular number
|
• reduction of femoral trabecular thickness
|
osteoporosis
(
J:226318
)
• surviving adult mutant mice are osteoporotic
|
• mutant mice show decreased mineralization of calvaria
|
• mutant femora have reduced stiffness in mechanical tests, requiring 48% less total energy to fracture than wild-type controls
• femoral stiffness was reduced 37% in mutant mice (p<0.01)
|
• femoral cortical bending moment of inertia, as measured by microCT, is only modestly reduced (11%, p=0.14) suggesting there may be significant changes in bone material properties at levels unaccounted for by changes in cortical geometr
|
• mutant femora have reduced ultimate load in mechanical tests
|
• mutant femora have reduced yield load in mechanical tests
|
• femoral post-yield displacement and plastic energy are reduced 77% and 89% respectively
