integument
|

|
|
• hypodermis thickness is significantly less than in wild-type controls

cellular
|
• isolated primary skin fibroblasts show an intermediate reduction of fibronectin and fibrillin-1 ECM deposition; instead of forming a normal fibrillar network, fibronectin is present in globular structures or short fibers on the cell surface or in the vicinity of fibroblasts
