nervous system
• at symmetric synapses, synaptic vesicles are smaller than in wild-type mice
• fewer vesicles are docked at symmetric synapses compared to in wild-type mice
• at P14, vesicle clustering in GABAergic synapses is decreased in the CA3 compared to in wild-type mice
• CA3 pyramidal neurons cultured for 14 days have fewer GABAergic vesicles associated with dendrites compared to in cultured wild-type neurons
• however, vesicle clustering in glutamatergic synapses is normal
• the frequency of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) is decreased compared to in wild-type hippocampal cultures
• however, the amplitude of mIPSCs is normal

N normal phenotype
renal/urinary system
• epithelium of collecting ducts is low cuboid rather than high cuboid or columnar
• functionally normal
• fewer papillary collecting ducts
• normal from E11.5 to E13.5, after 3-4 rounds of branching
• few ureteric bud branches in the inner medullary region at E16.5
• kidneys are small while body size is normal
• 30% reduction in the number of nephrons but density normal
• few ureteric bud branches in the inner medullary region at E16.5

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• wound healing is normal

reproductive system
N
• testes and seminal vesicles are normal

hematopoietic system
N
• peripheral lymph nodes show no difference in cellularity or T-cell distribution relative to controls
• bone marrow has similar numbers of hematopoietic precursors as in wild-type
• cellularity is reduced compared to wild-type and heterozygous controls with lower absolute numbers of T cells, B cells and dendritic cells

immune system
N
• thymopoeisis and T-cell development are normal in mutants
• cellularity is reduced compared to wild-type and heterozygous controls with lower absolute numbers of T cells, B cells and dendritic cells
• after sublethal irradiation, thymic cellularity and thymic subpopulations are significantly lower than in controls at 21 and 28 days after irradiation indicating defective thymic recovery
• irradiated mice transplanted with allogeneic bone marrow from wild-type mice have decreased numbers of host- and donor-derived T cells compared to wild-type

• phenotype becomes more prominent with age
• no excess of oil or greasy substances
• by 2 months in males
