N normal phenotype
cellular
• enhanced osteoblast differentiation predominantly in the anterior calvarium
• primary calvarial osteoblasts isolated from nasal/frontal bones exhibited enhanced formation of mineralized nodules when induced to differentiate
• enhanced proliferation of osteoblast precursors in the developing metopic suture and of isolated primary osteoblasts from nasal/frontal bones (cranial neural crest derived) but not from parietal bones (mesoderm-derived)

craniofacial
• adult skulls became abnormally structured and shaped due to premature suture closure
• the jugum limitans is often missing
• enhanced osteoblast differentiation predominantly in the anterior calvarium
• reduced growth of the head, obvious within 3 weeks after birth

• the jugum limitans is often missing
• enhanced osteoblast differentiation predominantly in the anterior calvarium
• accelerated skeletogenesis
• enhanced osteoblast differentiation predominantly in the anterior calvarium

• requently exhibited eye abnormalities

growth/size/body
• reduced growth of the head, obvious within 3 weeks after birth
