Class
Phenotype that is a decrease in the size of cells in a whole animal or in some specific organ, tissue or clone of cells compared to wild-type. This phenotype is not necessarily accompanied by decreased growth of a tissue - there may be more cells in an otherwise normal volume of tissue.
Note that defects in cell size are not necessarily the result of defects in cell growth. A change in the rate of cell division in the absence of any change in cell growth rate can result in smaller or larger cells.
