TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional germinal mutation      
null and hypomorphic mutations leading to skeletal and craniofacial anomalies, including fusions of long bones, calvarial bone hypoplasia, and craniosynostosis
constitutional       loss of function
deficiency in CYP26B1 action particularly impacts skeletal development, both at the level of patterning and in the ossification of bone and the establishment of some synovial joints

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • at embryonic day (E) 18.5 Cyp26b1(-/-) animals exhibit a truncated mandible, abnormal tooth buds, reduced ossification of calvaria, and are missing structures of the maxilla and nasal process
  • null and hypomorphic zebrafish cyp26b1 mutants, named dolphin (dol) and stocksteif (sst), display deficiencies in midline cartilaginous structures and hypermineralized facial and axial bones
