mortality/aging
• slightly less than the expected number of heterozygous mutant females are detected at weaning, suggesting possible prenatal loss
(J:13961)
• 23% of heterozygous mutant females die in utero
(J:46359)
|
growth/size/body
• at birth, heterozygous mutant females weigh 91.7 +/- 2.8% of wild-type controls
|
• at weaning, heterozygous mutant females weigh 95.4 +/- 2.4% of wild-type controls
|
integument
• heterozygous mutant females exhibit a very fine striping, that is often seen only on the dorsal body area and can be difficult to detect
(J:13961)
• heterozygous mutant females are first recognized at 8-10 days postnatally by the presence of dark fine stripes on the coat
(J:46359)
• however, no gross abnormalities are observed in dorsal skin or hair of whole body sections and other tissues appear histologicallly normal
(J:46359)
