Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption A: Eyelids from a 2 day old wild type mouse. f, fused eyelid epidermis; c, cornea. B: Eyelids from Dsc1tm1Dga/Dsc1tm1Dga littermate showing a failure of eyelid fusion, inflammation, and corneal damage. t, eyelid tips which have failed to fuse. C: Flaky skin in two mutant mice at 2 days old. At this age, mutant mice were indistinguishable in size from their normal littermates. D: Flaky skin and characteristic runted appearance in an 8 day old mutant mouse (bottom) when compared with a wild type littermate (top). E: Delayed weight gain in mutant mice. Results from a typical litter consisting of nine pups in which a mutant (Nu) mouse and its wild type (No) littermates were born with equal weights, but at weaning (21 days) the mutant mouse weighed 30% less than the average of the others. Bars represent range of weights of normal littermates. 10 litters were examined with similar results. Bars, 150um.
