mortality/aging
• only 80% of mice survive until weaning
|
skeleton
• at day 30, the cranium length is reduced to 86% of wild-type
|
• mice exhibit poor development of the frontal bones
|
• mice exhibit poor development of the parietal bones
|
• mice exhibit a thinning of the cranial vault proportional to the loss of wild-type alleles
|
• mice exhibit poor development of the nasal bones
|
• severity is proportional to the number of wild-type alleles lost
• at E18.5, humerus cortical length is 87+/-0.7% of wild-type
• at day 20, humerus length is 90+/-0.7% of wild-type
• at day 50, humerus length is 87+/-1% of wild-type
|
short femur
(
J:130212
)
• severity is proportional to the number of wild-type alleles lost
• at E18.5, femur length is 86+/-1% of wild-type
• however, length at day 30 is normal
|
• cortical bone formation is abnormal and the humeri and femora exhibit shortening of the bone cortices proportional to the number of wild-type alleles lost
|
• the number of proliferating chondrocytes in the distal femoral epiphysis decreases proportionally to the number of wild-type alleles lost
|
• mice exhibit diminished bone formation
|
limbs/digits/tail
• severity is proportional to the number of wild-type alleles lost
• at E18.5, humerus cortical length is 87+/-0.7% of wild-type
• at day 20, humerus length is 90+/-0.7% of wild-type
• at day 50, humerus length is 87+/-1% of wild-type
