mortality/aging
• incomplete penetrance, many mutant pups (60/101) dead during first postnatal day
|
• of mice that survive the neonatal period, only 8% survive to three weeks of age
|
growth/size/body
• weight at birth was approximately 70% of normal
• of mice that survived, weight remained at 60 - 70% of controls
|
reproductive system
• corpus luteum formation lacking
|
• less prominent formation of the follicular antrum
• fewer degenerative granulosa cells in the follicles
|
• any follicles seen were primary or secondary
|
• ovaries contained fewer follicles than age- and parity-matched controls
|
• females developed ovarian stromal cell tumors by 3 months of age
|
• females remained in continual metestrous, never cycling
|
• incomplete penetrance; 60% of females are completely sterile
|
• decreased fertility, both males and females
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• females had reduced serum concentrations
|
• females had reduced serum concentrations
|
• females had reduced serum concentrations
|
cardiovascular system
• neonatal death was accompanied by evidence of internal hemorrhage into vital organs
|
neoplasm
• females developed ovarian stromal cell tumors by 3 months of age
|
• 14.3% of females, aged 4 to 10 months, developed large soft-tissue sarcomas
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• hyperplastic pituitaries, restricted to the anterior lobe
|
• decreased amount of breast epithelial tissue, with complete absence of nipple formation in some females
• mammary glands reduced to a fat pad devoid of ductular component
|
absent nipple
