mortality/aging
• homozygous mutant mice die between 40 and 50 weeks of age
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• severe loss of triple-hydroxylated collagen representing the 986-hydroxylated peptide in mutant fibroblasts
• lower concentrations of collagen are present in mutant skin
|
growth/size/body
• reduced body size and weight, in comparison to littermate controls
|
skeleton
• dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry suggested that knockout mice had reduced bone density
|
• average femoral trabecular bone volume is significantly reduced in mutant mice
|
• the separation between trabeculae in femora is increased in mutant mice

integument
• aberrant type I and type II collagen present in cultured skin fibroblasts and in bone and cartilage extracts
• collagen fibrils in mutant mice are on average 1.45 times wider than similar samples from littermate control mice (114.6 +/2 22.4 nm vs. 78.6 +/2 12.4 nm diameter)
• lower concentrations of collagen are present in mutant skin
|
loose skin
(

)
• decreased tensile strength of skin samples is seen in mutant mice
