MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html). For more information about these ontologies, see the MGI Publications Page at http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/other/publications.shtml.

Accession:MP:0003842 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of the dense, fibrous connective tissue joint between the frontal bones from the sagittal suture to the root of the nose; it is visible in neonates and juveniles, but it is frequently obliterated in some adult organisms; in mice and rats, the posterior frontal (PF) suture, situated between the frontal bones, is analogous to the human metopic suture; the anterior landmark for the PF suture is the jugum limitans; the posterior landmark for the PF suture is the bregma
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal frontal suture morphology;   abnormal interfrontal suture morphology;   abnormal median frontal suture morphology;   abnormal mediofrontal suture morphology
