immune system
• inflammatory cell infiltrates observed around hair shafts lying within the dermal mescenchyme

integument
• from the front region, by age of 20-30 days, the weak, underdeveloped sparse hairs are lost the pups remain completely lacking of hairs (J:88408)
• during the following 4-5 months, another 2-3 growth waves of sparse fuzzy hairs occur; then the adults remain without a coat with the exception of a perinasal tuft and some short hairs at the tail base (J:88408)
• starting at the day 6 until 10-12 days of age, homozygous pups have on their body sparse, short, thin, and fuzzy hairs (J:88408)
• shaft consists of cuticle and cortex only
• shaft lacks trichohyalin granules
• Huxley layer contains multiple large intracytoplasmic vacuoles, evidence of cell fragmentation, and trychohyalin granules of variable and irregular size
• hair shafts lack a distinctive medulla by day 8
• hair shafts are thin and few penetrate the skin by day 8
• follicles exhibit a curved shape with thin hypodermal connective tissue
• premature catagen induction, shortened telogen, and early anagen development observed by day 12
• by day 5, stage 8 follicles exhibit a curved shape and few hair shafts are found within the follicular infundibulum
• follicles are smaller than wildtype
• homozygotes have curly vibrissae throughout their lives (J:88408)
• acceleration of cycle
• telogen phase shortened
• catagen observed by day 12; characterized by keratinocyte apoptosis
• despite thickening, epidermal keratinization process is normal
