• Allelic Composition: Chd7^em1Kangn/Chd7^em1Kangn; Tg(Prrx1-cre)1Cjt/0
• Genetic Background: involves: C57BL/6J * SJL/J

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

mortality/aging

premature death ( J:336448 )

• relatively lower survival rate

growth/size/body

decreased body size ( J:336448 )

• smaller size and delayed growth features compared to controls at 4 weeks of age

• administration of a PPARG inhibitor partially rescues the reduction in body size

decreased body weight ( J:336448 )

skeleton

increased bone marrow adipose tissue amount ( J:336448 )

• increase in bone marrow adipose tissue accumulation in both primary and secondary ossification centers

• number and density of bone marrow adipocytes are apparently elevated

• accumulation of adipose in the marrow is more striking in females

abnormal craniofacial bone morphology ( J:336448 )

• cranial bone hypoplasia at 2 and 4 weeks of age

decreased long bone epiphyseal plate size ( J:336448 )

• slightly shortened growth plate

decreased bone mineral density ( J:336448 )

• at 4 weeks of age in the femur

decreased volumetric bone mineral density ( J:336448 )
