Phenotypes of Aft mutation
pigmentation
limbs/digits/tail
|
• partial syndactyly of digits 3 and 4 on the hindlimbs, commonly unilateral
• several mutants are seen in which digits other than 3 and 4 are fused
|
|
• syndactyly is caused by the persistence of the skin web between the digits and not due to fused bony elements
|
|
• tail kinks are most likely caused by varying degrees of cartilage overgrowth and fusion and a dysmorphogenesis of bony elements attached to the fusion site
|
integument
|
• incompletely penetrant progressive late-onset hair loss (around 6-8 months of age) that starts locally around the snout and back of ears
|
|
• at around 6-8 months of age, when local hair loss begins, the fur appears clumpy and unkempt
|
|
• skin shows focal areas of decreased hair follicle density with fibrous tracts, pigment incontinence and increased mast cells
|
|
• late-onset (6-8 months of age) of skin lesions following hair loss that progress into bleeding ulcerations
