• severe cartilage reduction at P0
|
• reduced chondrocyte differentiation
|
• joint positioning defects at P0 indicated by prominent changes in phalangeal cartilage nodule organization
• the interphalangeal joints are shifted perpendicularly at P0
• ectopic joints along the digit rays

limbs/digits/tail
• impaired phalangeal mesenchymal condensation
• however, mesenchyme proliferation is normal
|
• longitudinally oriented cavities that split proximal and medial phalanges
• digit defect in the forelimb is restricted to the posterior digits
