growth/size/body
• upper incisors were hypomorphic in the mutant mice
|
• significantly less body weight than control littermates
|
• at one week and six weeks after birth, mutant pups and mice show slower weight/length gain than controls
|
microcephaly
(
J:226455
)
• at 4 weeks, surviving mutant mice have a smaller head
|
• at 4 weeks, surviving mutant mice have a smaller body length
|
• forelimbs and hindlimbs are disproportionally shorter compared to littermates
|
craniofacial
• skull bones were smaller and less mineralized especially within the nasal and frontal bones
|
• upper incisors were hypomorphic in the mutant mice
|
limbs/digits/tail
• shorter appendicular bones in forearms
|
short radius
(
J:226455
)
• shorter appendicular bones in forearms
|
short ulna
(
J:226455
)
• shorter appendicular bones in forearms
|

(
J:226455
)
• quantification on the length showed 15-30% decrease for each bone in both legs
|
short fibula
(
J:226455
)
• quantification on the length showed 15-30% decrease for each bone in both legs
|

|
short limbs
(
J:226455
)
