mortality/aging
• male progeny are underrepresented by about 50% at weaning; males at normal ratios are recovered at E16.5 and P0, indicating that half of mice die postnatally prior to weaning
|
growth/size/body
• a subset of mice show pronounced curvature of the nasal bone away from the midline of over 10 degrees
|
• average surface area of the nasal bone is smaller
• however, frontal bone width, parietal bone length, interparietal bone length and width, and the distance between length and right anterolateral corner of the frontal bone are not changed
|
• some mice exhibit mild midfacial hypoplasia and some mice show severe midfacial hypoplasia
|
short face
(
J:317822
)
• mice exhibit a shortened facial profile as they mature postnatally
|
• mice exhibit an upward curvature of the snout as they mature postnatally
|
• mice are slightly runted during embryogenesis
|
• surviving mice remain runted postnatally
|
craniofacial
• shape changes show that skulls fall into three categories: 1) no changes in skull shape, 2) mild midfacial hypoplasia with a reduction in dimensions of the snout and midface, 3) severe midfacial hypoplasia and unilateral deviations away from the midline
|
• average surface area of the frontal bone is smaller
• however, frontal bone width is unchanged
|
• average area of the parietal bones is smaller
• however, parietal bone length is unchanged
|
• a subset of mice show pronounced curvature of the nasal bone away from the midline of over 10 degrees
|
• average surface area of the nasal bone is smaller
• however, frontal bone width, parietal bone length, interparietal bone length and width, and the distance between length and right anterolateral corner of the frontal bone are not changed
