Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption Aft/Aft+ mice are recognizable by tail kinks(Panel A) and partial sydactyly of the third and fourth digits of the hind feet (Panel B). The syndactyly does not result from bone fusion but from the persistence of the skin web which normally is removed via apoptosis during development. (Panel C). Tailkinks are a result of a varying degrees of overgrowth and fusion of cartilage and a corresponding dysmorphogenesis of bony elements attached to fusion site. (Panel D). Between 6-8 months of age Aft/Aft+ mice develop hairloss behind the ears and snout as well as a clumpy and unkempt appearance of fur, which over time progresses into bleeding ulcerations (Panel E).
