skeleton

misaligned sternebrae ( J:37682 )

• two mice of 39 had sternebrae that were not properly aligned along the ventral midline

abnormal arcus anterior morphology ( J:37682 )

• in 41% of mice the anterior arch is slanted rostrally

cervical vertebral transformation ( J:37682 )

• in 13% of mice a C2 to C1 transformation occurs

nervous system

abnormal facial nerve morphology ( J:37682 )

• reduction in the facial nerve is not as severe as in homozygotes
