Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:3687258

• Allelic Composition: Col5a1^tm1Rjw/Col5a1⁺
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S6/SvEvTac * C57BL/6

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

The dermis of Col5a1^tm1Rjw/Col5a1⁺ mice contains poorly organized and less densely packed fibers

cardiovascular system

abnormal aorta morphology ( J:112728 )

• ascending and descending aortas from 12-week old mutants exhibit decreased aortic stiffness and breaking strength

integument

abnormal skin morphology ( J:112728 )

• exhibit a 50% decrease in type V collagen content in skin

abnormal cutaneous collagen fibril morphology ( J:112728 )

• mice show alterations in type I collagen fiber composition in the dermis, but not the Achilles tendons, including a decrease in the beta1,2 dimers, cross-linked by an intramolecular aldol band and increase in gamma trimers, cross-linked by an intermolecular aldol bond

abnormal dermal layer morphology ( J:112728 )

• dermis contains poorly organized and less densely fibers and contains a mixture of relatively normal symmetrical fibrils that are somewhat broader and larger in diameter and very large diameter and aberrant fibrils; the large aberrant fibrils contain no type V collagen

• exhibit a significant delay in dermal collagen accumulation between 4 and 8 weeks of age, however by 12 weeks the total quantity of dermal collagen is similar to wild-type

• dermis shows reduced density of dermal connective tissue

abnormal skin condition ( J:112728 )

• skin is hyperextensible compared to wild-type, but there is no skin redundancy

decreased skin tensile strength ( J:112728 )

• tensile strength of unwounded and wounded skin is reduced
