skeleton
• rare in knee cartilage at 18 weeks of age
• present in 100% of year old mice as opposed to 45% of controls who also suffer from less severe symptoms
|
• hypertrophic zone of the proximal growth plate of tibia expanded 47% relative to controls at E16.5 and E17.5
• expansion attenuated during perinatal development and becomes normal in newborns
• chondrocytes in proximal growth plate exit the cell cycle early
• at E16.5, chondrocytes undergo premature differentiation to hypertrophic stage
|
• whole body bone mass density measurements significantly elevated by 18 weeks of age
• bone mass density measurements for the knee joint are elevated by 7 weeks of age
