Phenotypic information | Homozygotes probably die prenatally. Heterozygotes can be recognized at 1 to 2 weeks of age by tightness of the skin over the shoulders when picked up. No other abnormality was detected and the mice are fully viable and fertile. Histological examination of the skin of these mice reveals accumulation of collagen and mononuclear cell infiltration in dermis and adipose tissue. An increased collagen content is found biochemically, and steady-state levels of Col1a1 mRNA. |
