Tet1tuft mutation (1 available); any Tet1 mutation (142 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
nervous system
• lesion may indicate improper closure of the anterior neuropore
• malformed in some mice due to lipoma

craniofacial
• larger, diamond-shaped, and much wider than in wild-type mice
• bifid nose
• in some mice (J:242827)

growth/size/body
• bifid nose
• in some mice (J:242827)
• in some mice
• more pronounced in male than female mice
• however, some mice grow to normal weight after a month
• in some mice
• more pronounced in male than female mice

neoplasm
• mice develop a variably-sized, mid-line intracranial craniofacial lipoma of mesenchymal origin between the hemispheres and often protruded through the sagittal suture
• lipoma are apparent at birth and continue to grow in proportion to head size until the mouse matures
• lipoma emerge from the brain and through a hole in the skull

respiratory system
• bifid nose

vision/eye
• in some mice (J:242827)

pigmentation
• blanching of hair over lipoma

skeleton
• larger, diamond-shaped, and much wider than in wild-type mice

embryo
• lesion may indicate improper closure of the anterior neuropore

integument
• blanching of hair over lipoma
