embryo
• mice exhibit ectodermal dysplasia

craniofacial
N
• no substantial craniomaxillofacial deformities are seen
• the lower second molar shows a high incidence of taurodontism with a very large pulp chamber
• the lower first molar is small with only 3 rounded cusps compared to wild-type mice that have 7 deep and well-defined cusps linked by transverse crests
• mice have only two mandibular molars with the third molar missing
• the lower first molar is small

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice exhibit no eccrine sweat glands in the footpads
• mice show a severe defect in sweating ability

growth/size/body
• the lower second molar shows a high incidence of taurodontism with a very large pulp chamber
• the lower first molar is small with only 3 rounded cusps compared to wild-type mice that have 7 deep and well-defined cusps linked by transverse crests
• mice have only two mandibular molars with the third molar missing
• the lower first molar is small

integument
• mice exhibit no eccrine sweat glands in the footpads
• mice show a severe defect in sweating ability
• mice have hairless tails and abdomen, a bald patch behind ears, and scant hair around the eyes
• decrease in the density of hair follicles in the abdominal skin, indicating affected hair development

limbs/digits/tail
• mice exhibit no eccrine sweat glands in the footpads
• mice exhibit kinked tail tips

skeleton
• the lower second molar shows a high incidence of taurodontism with a very large pulp chamber
