craniofacial
• accumulation of hair in nasal cavities results in "snuffling"
• medial nasal glands are completely absent
• however, the Steno's gland (lateral nasal gland 1) and maxillary sinus gland develop normally
• only lateral nasal gland 3 and 8 develop in mutants, while no other ducts of the other lateral nasal glands are found either in the lateral nasal wall or middle conchal lip
• branching of lateral nasal gland 3 is defective at a more rostral location

endocrine/exocrine glands
• medial nasal glands are completely absent
• however, the Steno's gland (lateral nasal gland 1) and maxillary sinus gland develop normally
• only lateral nasal gland 3 and 8 develop in mutants, while no other ducts of the other lateral nasal glands are found either in the lateral nasal wall or middle conchal lip
• branching of lateral nasal gland 3 is defective at a more rostral location

limbs/digits/tail
• devoid or nearly devoid of hair
• usually a few sharp kinks are seen at the tip

pigmentation
• absence of agouti-banding on dorsal hair results in a dark stripe in that region
• noteably delayed

respiratory system
• accumulation of hair in nasal cavities results in "snuffling"
• medial nasal glands are completely absent

• branching of lateral nasal gland 3 is defective at a more rostral location

vision/eye

integument
• absence of agouti-banding on dorsal hair results in a dark stripe in that region
• hair does not develop behind the ears and on the tail
• due to the absence of guard-hairs and zig-zag hairs
• E14-17 embryos lack the complement of prominent hair follicles for this age
• the post-orbital vibrissa is absent
• usually there is one rather than two supra-orbital vibrissae
• noteably delayed
• devoid or nearly devoid of tail rings
• noted a few days after birth

growth/size/body
• accumulation of hair in nasal cavities results in "snuffling"
• medial nasal glands are completely absent
• however, the Steno's gland (lateral nasal gland 1) and maxillary sinus gland develop normally
• only lateral nasal gland 3 and 8 develop in mutants, while no other ducts of the other lateral nasal glands are found either in the lateral nasal wall or middle conchal lip
