skeleton
• premature calcification of the vertebral bones and epiphysis of the limb bones is seen at 5 days of age

vision/eye
• both unilateral and bilateral cataracts are seen

behavior/neurological
• offspring of heterozygous females show reduced viability regardless of genotype, suggesting a maternal nurturing defect

pigmentation
• appearance of dark stripes on coat adjacent to bare skin due to visibility of the dark base of hairs

integument

• viability in striated females appears to be normal, but misclassification due to reduced penetrance causes an apparent shortage of heterozygotes in segregating generations

pigmentation
(J:55488)
• incomplete penetrance (approximately 80% of females exhibit this phenotype); appearance of dark transverse stripes on coat, usually not distinguishable until 16-18 days of age (J:290)

skeleton
• kyphosis is seen in some mice

vision/eye
• adult eyes show severe retinal dystrophy or absence of retinal cells

integument
• sweat glands are severely dystrophic or completely absent from paws
• there is a shortage of auchene hairs among the short hairs of striated heterozygous females, but zigzags and awls occur in approximately the normal ratio to each other
(J:55488)
• incomplete penetrance (approximately 80% of females exhibit this phenotype); appearance of dark transverse stripes on coat, usually not distinguishable until 16-18 days of age (J:290)
• the dark stripes in striated heterozygous female mice are due to shortening of the hairs
• there is a shortage of guard hairs among the short hairs of striated heterozygous females, but zigzags and awls occur in approximately the normal ratio to each other
