craniofacial
• the lower second molar exhibits a high incidence of taurodontism
• although all 3 mandibular molars are present, they show reduced and rounded cusps
• the lower first molars are smaller with only 4 of normal 7 cusps formed

embryo
• mice display the most severe ectodermal organ development defects out of the three mutants generated and similar defects to knock-out mice but with a slightly milder phenotype

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice exhibit very few sweat glands in the footpads
• mice show almost no sweating function

growth/size/body
• the lower second molar exhibits a high incidence of taurodontism
• although all 3 mandibular molars are present, they show reduced and rounded cusps
• the lower first molars are smaller with only 4 of normal 7 cusps formed

integument
• mice exhibit very few sweat glands in the footpads
• mice show almost no sweating function
• scant abdomen hair and ear hair and reduced hair around the eye, but normal tail hair and tips
