N normal phenotype
endocrine/exocrine glands
• sebaceous gland hyperplasia becomes apparent around P29

integument
• sebaceous gland hyperplasia becomes apparent around P29
• develop alopecia at 3-10 months of age
• sparse hair coat early after birth
• loss of hair follicles
• precocious entry into the catagen phase of the first hair growth cycle and subsequent irregular hair follicle phasing, such that at P49, catagen hair follicles are predominant instead of telogen
