pigmentation
• jet black coat color
|
limbs/digits/tail
• in the most severe instances hind feet can have only 1 digit or the foot can be articulated with a projection from the side of the tibia
• although the defects are bilateral they are generally asymmetric
|
• in some homozygotes hind feet do not point in the correct direction
|
brachydactyly
(
J:10399
)
• brachydactyly is sometimes observed
|
oligodactyly
(
J:10399
)
• in all homozygotes at least 2 digits on each extremity are absent
|
syndactyly
(
J:10399
)
• bony syndactyly is sometimes observed
|
• in all homozygotes this is either aplasia or hypoplasia of some carpals and many tarsals
|
• observed in some, but not all, homozygotes
|
• in all homozygotes this is either aplasia or hypoplasia of some carpals and many tarsals
|
• observed in some, but not all, homozygotes
|
absent radius
(
J:10399
)
• the severity of radioulnar synostosis varies and in some homozygotes there appears to be no radius
|
absent fibula
(
J:10399
)
• homozygotes have complete fibular aplasia
|
• in some homozygotes there is malpositioning of the patella
|
skeleton

|
synostosis
(
J:10399
)
• radioulnar synostosis is found in all homozygotes
|
renal/urinary system
• 6 of 9 post-wean homozygotes with limb deformity also have hydronephrosis and hydroureter
|
• 5 of 80 fetuses at embryonic day 17 have renal hypoplasia
|
absent kidney
(
J:10399
)
• in 2 of 80 fetuses at embryonic day 17
|
• dilation of one or both ureters is found in 10 of 80 fetuses at embryonic day 17
|
hydroureter
(
J:10399
)
• 6 of 9 post-wean homozygotes with limb deformity also have hydronephrosis and hydroureter
|
