growth/size/body
• both sexes show displacement of weight gain during growth from weaning to 50 days of age; females remain smaller than nontransgenic littermates, whereas males have similar body weights to controls at 50 days of age
• severe

craniofacial
• calvaria are enlarged over occipital bones

limbs/digits/tail
• ulna shows unusual angle of bending

skeleton
• calvaria are enlarged over occipital bones
• ulna shows unusual angle of bending
• 20-30% shortening of ulna, radius, humerus, femur, and tibia, relative to controls
• ribs adjacent to thoracic vertebrae are enlarged and flattened at proximal and distal ends
• appear enlarged and misshapen
• cervical vertebrae appear compressed, with surface irregularities
• significant differences are observed between transgenic mice and controls for bone length per gram body weight

muscle
• smooth muscle cells are hypertrophic compared to control cells, with 66% more protein content than control cells

cardiovascular system
• smooth muscle cells are hypertrophic compared to control cells, with 66% more protein content than control cells

cardiovascular system
• scar thickness 4 weeks post-infarct induction is greater than in wild-type mice (0.64+/-0.07 mm compared to 0.30+/-0.04 mm in wild-type mice)
• however, infarct size and scar contraction are the same as in wild-type mice
• following infarct induction, mice exhibit increased cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (47% increase in cross-section area compared to 19% increase in cross-section area in wild-type mice)
• fibroblast proliferation at 2 days, 4 days and 1 week post-infarct induction is increased more than twice compared to in wild-type mice while total duration of proliferation is shorter than in wild-type mice
• interstitial fibrosis is exaggerated compared to in wild-type mice following infarct induction (81% compared to 58% in similarly treated wild-type mice)
