nervous system
• the abducens nerve exits the hindbrain with fewer nerve bundles, which initially wander in the mesenchymal area adjacent to the hindbrain exit before completely stalling in the mesenchyme leading to a reduction in abducens length and complete lack of both abducens innervation near the orbit and aberrant tracking with the facial nerve
• however, trochlear nerve and first cervical spine projections are normal

• osteoclasts were more mature (larger) than in control mice, but osteoclast activity did not differ from that of wild-type

skeleton
• the mineral apposition rate (MAR) was undetectable at 3 and 4 weeks of age

• shortened axial skeleton
• observed in some mice
• non-ossified gap in the dorsal midline of both the cervical and thoracic vertebrae
• bone mineral density was reduced in all mice
• though density increased with age, it remained decreased relative to that of wild-type
• while osteoblast differentiation was not affected, osteogenic regions contained fewer osteoblasts due to impaired proliferation
• several tarsal joins failed to develop, putatively due to a a failure of cavitation of the cartilaginous anlage prior to ossificiation of these bones
• skeletal dwarfism and decreased bone density
• decreased amount of trabecular bone; in some cases it was absent
• osteoclasts were more mature (larger) than in control mice, but osteoclast activity did not differ from that of wild-type

• however, lung epithelial cell identity and differentiation remain unaffected
• at E15.5, both the shape and size of lung lobes is abnormal
• however, the overall process of lobation and number of lobes are normal
