| Type | MGI:General | Description | 10-20% of the collagen fiber bundles in heterozygous mutant tendon tail are similar to the abnormal bundles in homozygous null tail tendon heterozygotes show a decrease in endotenon tissue and a 15% reduction in the number of collagen fiber bundles in their tail tendons relative to wild-type at 7 weeks, collagen fibrils in heterozygous mice have an average diameter and size distribution, which is almost identical to that of wild-type surprisingly, at 20 weeks, heterozygous tendons show a broader size distribution and a 10% larger average diameter relative to wild-type |
