• the apoptosis rates for chondrocytes in the growth plate, proliferative zone and resting zone are increased by 3.3-fold, 12-fold and 2.5-fold, respectively, relative to apoptosis rates in wild-type mice
|
• proliferation of chondrocyte in the proliferative zone is decreased as indicated by a 24% reduction in bromodeoxyuridine-labelled chondrocytes relative to in wild-type mice

• by 9 weeks male mice tibia are 4% shorter than in wild-type mice
|
• chondrocytes alignment in the proliferative zone is disrupted from 2 weeks of age
• chondrocyte columns are reduced in number and in some cases terminate prematurely with a corresponding increase in the amount of space between individual columns
• at 3 weeks, proliferative zones are enlarged by greater than 15%
• chondrocytes within the proliferative zone are disorganized, irregularly shaped, heterogeneous and not aligned within the chondrons
• fibrillar material in the interterritorial matrix is more abundant and better defined than in heterozygotes and wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit hip dysplasia characterized by the tuberosity of the ischium protruding from the pelvic region at an angle of greater than 15 degrees
|
• chondrocytes exhibit a mild rough endoplasmic reticulum stress as determined by expression and activity levels of Hspa5, Eif2s1, Ddit3, Atf6, Casp12, and Bcl2
