skeleton

abnormal caudal vertebrae morphology ( J:31339 )

• 1 of 109 heterozygous newborns show a curled tail due to distortion of caudal vertebrae

abnormal sternum morphology ( J:31339 )

• the sternum is often distorted and xiphoid process bifurcated in newborn heterozygotes that have abnormal ribs

split xiphoid process ( J:31339 )

abnormal rib morphology ( J:31339 )

• the ventral segment of adjacent ribs, both true and false ribs, in newborn heterozygotes is sometimes fused which forms a fork-like structure

decreased rib number ( J:31339 )

• the majority of newborn heterozygotes have only 6 true ribs on the right and left, instead of the normal 7

decreased lumbar vertebrae number ( J:31339 )

• all newborn heterozygotes are found to have 5, instead of the normal 6, lumbar vertebrae

limbs/digits/tail

abnormal caudal vertebrae morphology ( J:31339 )

• 1 of 109 heterozygous newborns show a curled tail due to distortion of caudal vertebrae
