mortality/aging
• growth retarded mutants with malocclusion typically die within 2 months from insufficient eating

growth/size/body
• growth retarded mutants have severe malocclusion
• all mutants with malocclusion have kyphosis
• mutants with malocclusion have prominent hemifacial microsomia
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit asymmetric distance between the external auditory meatus and the orbital fossa
• mutants with malocclusion have asymmetric low set ears
• seen in 8.9% of mutants at weaning age (numbers pooled from both males and females)

embryo
• exhibit left-right axis abnormalities that include dextrocardia and asplenia in one male
• however, do not exhibit pulmonary isomerism or complete left-right reversal of the lung lobes

cardiovascular system
• seen in 6.9% of E14.5-15.5 fetuses and 7.9% of 4-week old adults (numbers pooled from both males and females)
• however, do not observe dextro-transposition of the great arteries, interrupted aortic arch, or right aortic arch
• one male was found with thoraco-cervical ectopia cordis, a very rare congenital malformation in which the heart is located partially in the cervical region (anterior displacement compared to wild-type) but the cranial end of the sternum is split; ectopia cordis has not been previously reported in live born mice

skeleton
• asymmetric length and shape of the hyoid bone
• aplasia of the greater horns of the hyoid bone
• growth retarded mutants have severe malocclusion
• all mutants with malocclusion have kyphosis
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit deviation of the mandible from the midline and unilateral hypertrophy of the mandibular musculature
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit unilateral underdevelopment of the coronoid process of the mandible
• seen in mutants with malocclusion
• seen in mutants with malocclusion
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit asymmetric position of the zygomatic bone
• failure of fusion of cricoid cartilage in the midline
• at a very low penetrance level, lack the 13th rib
• 45.8% develop thoracolumbar kyphosis by 2 months of age (numbers pooled from both males and females)
• however, no vertebral body defects are seen
• 14.6% develop thoracolumbar scoliosis by 2 months of age (numbers pooled from both males and females)

hearing/vestibular/ear
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit asymmetric distance between the external auditory meatus and the orbital fossa
• mutants with malocclusion have asymmetric low set ears

limbs/digits/tail
• 8.3% exhibit kinked tails (numbers pooled from both males and females)
• however, no neural tube malformations are detected in embryos

respiratory system
• failure of fusion of cricoid cartilage in the midline

vision/eye
• low penetrance of unilateral congenital cataract

craniofacial
• asymmetric length and shape of the hyoid bone
• aplasia of the greater horns of the hyoid bone
• growth retarded mutants have severe malocclusion
• all mutants with malocclusion have kyphosis
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit deviation of the mandible from the midline and unilateral hypertrophy of the mandibular musculature
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit unilateral underdevelopment of the coronoid process of the mandible
• seen in mutants with malocclusion
• seen in mutants with malocclusion
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit asymmetric position of the zygomatic bone
• mutants with malocclusion have prominent hemifacial microsomia
• mutants with malocclusion exhibit asymmetric distance between the external auditory meatus and the orbital fossa
