Short tail and compact body in Scs/+ (center) and Scs/Scs (right) mice compared to wild-type (left)

skeleton

abnormal axial skeleton morphology ( J:202091 )

abnormal rib morphology ( J:202091 )

• ribs are often bifurcated or fused

rib bifurcation ( J:202091 )

rib fusion ( J:202091 )

abnormal vertebral column morphology ( J:202091 )

• compressed, shortened, sometimes crooked or kinked spine and tail

abnormal intervertebral disk morphology ( J:202091 )

• intervertebral discs are sometimes missing or herniated

abnormal vertebrae morphology ( J:202091 )

• cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebrae can be compressed, misshapen, and irregularly aligned and misaligned vertebrae are often fused resulting in a crooked spine or tail kink

vertebral compression ( J:202091 )

vertebral fusion ( J:202091 )

short vertebral column ( J:202091 )

• the vertebral defects result in a compressed, shortened body length

abnormal skeleton development ( J:202091 )

limbs/digits/tail

short tail ( J:202091 )

• homozygotes have a very short tail, approximately a half inch or less, which can be stumpy or kinked

hearing/vestibular/ear

hearing/vestibular/ear phenotype ( J:202091 )

N	• normal hearing by ABR of one homozygote at 39 days of age, one homozygote at 81 days of age, and one homozygote at 4 months of age
