behavior/neurological
• pups of homozygous females all die postnatally, consistent with failed lactation
|
muscle
• pathology showed small muscle fibers, muscle fiber degeneration, and regeneration in 4 of 6 homozygotes
|
reproductive system
• homozygotes have reduced fertility
|
skeleton
• dramatic ossification of the skull, particularly high levels of ossification of the hyoid and zygomatic arches, failed tooth eruption, and severely misshapen mandible result in an abnormal head shape
|
• The skull is smaller than normal, with highly thickened bone and high levels of ossification in the hyoid and zygomatic arches
|
• high levels of ossification
|
• teeth are present but fail to erupt
|
• an additional tooth in or around the mandibular foramina
|
• the anterior mandible is hypoplastic and the angle and condyle of the mandible is misshapen
|
• high levels of ossification
|
• dramatically denser bones have completely filled medullary space in the long bones
|
• whole body areal bone mineral density is higher than normal but skull BMC and skull to body areal bone mineral density ratio are lower than normal due to the smaller head size
|
• homozygotes have dramatically denser bones and completely filled medullary space in the long bones and the bone of the skull is dramatically denser than normal
|
craniofacial
• dramatic ossification of the skull, particularly high levels of ossification of the hyoid and zygomatic arches, failed tooth eruption, and severely misshapen mandible result in an abnormal head shape
|
• The skull is smaller than normal, with highly thickened bone and high levels of ossification in the hyoid and zygomatic arches
|
• high levels of ossification
|
• teeth are present but fail to erupt
|
• an additional tooth in or around the mandibular foramina
|
• the anterior mandible is hypoplastic and the angle and condyle of the mandible is misshapen
|
• high levels of ossification
|
growth/size/body
• teeth are present but fail to erupt
|
• an additional tooth in or around the mandibular foramina
|
• homozygots are much smaller than littermate controls
|
• consistent with significantly smaller overall body size, the body weight of homozygous males and females is less than normal
|
limbs/digits/tail
• proportionally shorter tail length
