|
mortality/aging
|
• many die between birth and P10
|
growth/size/body
|
• body length is reduced by 40%; complete penetrance
|
embryo
|
• somitogenesis is delayed and irregular with reduced mesenchymal condensation
|
|
• the anteroposterior somite identity is disrupted in trunk paraxial mesoderm as indicated by marker analysis
|
|
• the 'segmentation clock' is disrupted in trunk paraxial mesoderm as indicated by marker analysis
|
|
• intersomitic boundaries are not seen at the time of somite development
|
skeleton
|
• arrangement of rib heads is highly disorganized at E13.5
|
|
• ribs are sometimes absent
|
|
• ribs are sometimes fused
|
|
• single vertebra show more than one center of ossification
• arrangement of vertebrae is highly disorganized in the thoracic region at E13.5
|
|
• the cartilage primordia of the vertebrae are disorganized in E13.5 embryos
|
|
• short tail is due to the absence of approximately 20 coccygeal vertebrae
|
|
• vertebral arches are highly disorganized with ribs sometimes fused or absent
|
nervous system
|
• sensory chain ganglia disarray at E10.5-11.5
|
|
• dorsal root ganglia are irregular in size and shape in the thoracic region at E13.5
|
|
• evident in the thoracic and cervical region at E13.5
|
|
• uneven distribution of spinal nerves at E13.5
• spinal axons pass through the anterior, posterior, or central part of the somite segment at E10.5-11.5 unlike in controls in which the ventral spinal axons pass only through the anterior of the somite
|
limbs/digits/tail
|
• short tail is due to the absence of approximately 20 coccygeal vertebrae
