mortality/aging
• about 25% die during the first month of life
|
growth/size/body
• by the third week of life, mutants were approximately 1/2 of the size of wildtype
(J:95994)
|
vision/eye
• all cell layers (outer nuclear, inner nuclear, and ganglion cell layers) of the retina were hypoplastic
(J:95994)
|
• reduced amplitudes of the a- and b-waves in retinas in response to a pulse of light, with a-waves corresponding to 15% of those seen in wildtype
(J:95994)
• retinas respond to light with electroretinographic potentials corresponding to about 10% of those seen in wild-type
(J:105045)

endocrine/exocrine glands
• underdeveloped mammary epithelial tree at the end of pregnancy
|
• unable to breast-feed pups due to abnormal mammary tissue development
|
reproductive system
• underdeveloped mammary epithelial tree at the end of pregnancy
|
behavior/neurological
limb grasping
(
J:95994
)
• when lifted by tails, responded by rapidly retracting their limbs
|
integument
• underdeveloped mammary epithelial tree at the end of pregnancy
|
