limbs/digits/tail
• the triceps is least effected with a 7.1% decrease in weight
|
• the quadriceps is most the most effected muscle with a 8.6% in weight
|
skeleton
• posteriorly directed homeotic transformations throughout the axial skeleton with incomplete penetrance
• partial or complete loss of one lumbar segment in approximately 12% of mice
|
• rarely a supernumerary rib arising from the 7th cervical vertebra is seen
|
• almost 90% of mice have at least 1 truncated or absent 13th rib
• over 40% of mice lack both 13th ribs
|
• rarely a supernumerary rib arising from the 7th cervical vertebra is seen
|
• partial penetrance of transformation of the 13th thoracic segment into a lumbar segment

• rarely the anterior tuberculum is shifted from C6 to C5

muscle
• the triceps is least effected with a 7.1% decrease in weight
|
• the quadriceps is most the most effected muscle with a 8.6% in weight
|
• decrease of 6-9% in muscle weight in males at 10 weeks of age
|
• seems to be a shift in fiber type from fast glycolytic type IIb fibers to fast oxidative type IIa fibers in the gastrocnemius muscle
|
• impaired regeneration following cardiotoxin induced injury of the gastrocnemius muscle
