N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• no homozygotes survive beyond 6 weeks of age
• about 30% of homozygotes die early postnatally
• homozygotes surviving P4 live for an average of 3-4 weeks
• however, no homozygotes survive beyond 6 weeks of age
• about 50% of homozygotes die before E10, with no subsequent loss during the prenatal period

growth/size/body
• at >2 weeks, homozygotes exhibit right ventricular hypertrophy, probably as a result of pulmonary dysfunction ("cor pulmonale")
• no cardiac dysmorphology is noted during embryonic or early postnatal stages
• no apparent hemorrhaging, anemia, erythroblastosis or thrombocytopenia are observed
• postnatal survivors exhibit an enlarged thoracic cavity, with lungs appearing to expand until tissue breaks
• by 4 weeks, surviving homozygotes are at least 50% smaller than wild-type mice
• at >2 weeks, homozygotes show a symmetrical size reduction in most organs
• at E17-E19, surviving homozygotes are 10-20% smaller than wild-type fetuses
• at E17-E19, surviving homozygotes are growth retarded

respiratory system
• postmortem, several homozygotes exhibit bleeding in the lungs
• bleeding and pneumothorax are two potential causes of postnatal lethality
• at >2 weeks, mutant lungs appear hyperinflated, with abnormally large, air-filled cavities throughout the parenchyma
• at P10-P14, homozygotes display failure of alveolar septation
• at >2 weeks, pulmonary alveoli are absent
• at P14, mutant lungs show large areas of atelectasis; smaller areas of collapsed lung tissue are evident as early as P4
• by P19, atelectasis often affects entire lung lobes, resulting in distension of the remaining air-filled lobes
• at >2 weeks, alveolar septa are absent
• at >2 weeks, homozygotes exhibit progressive, generalized emphysema
• little subcompartmentalization of lung parenchyma occurs after P4
• at 3 weeks, mutant lungs show loss of alveolar myofibroblasts and parenchymal elastin, with a "clear zone" extending into the narrow space between the type I pneumocyte and capillary endothelial cell cytoplasm
• loss of septal myofibrils and elastin fibers is specific to lung parenchyma, as elastin fibers occur at normal abundance in blood vessel and bonchus walls
• upon autopsy and during dissections under phosphate-buffered saline, air bubbles were frequently observed to leave the pleural surfaces of mutant lungs

cardiovascular system
• at >2 weeks, homozygotes exhibit right ventricular hypertrophy, probably as a result of pulmonary dysfunction ("cor pulmonale")
• no cardiac dysmorphology is noted during embryonic or early postnatal stages
• no apparent hemorrhaging, anemia, erythroblastosis or thrombocytopenia are observed
• at >2 weeks, homozygotes show a >2-fold increase in right ventricular wall thickness relative to heterozygotes
• postmortem, several homozygotes exhibit bleeding in the lungs
• bleeding and pneumothorax are two potential causes of postnatal lethality

muscle
• at >2 weeks, homozygotes exhibit right ventricular hypertrophy, probably as a result of pulmonary dysfunction ("cor pulmonale")
• no cardiac dysmorphology is noted during embryonic or early postnatal stages
• no apparent hemorrhaging, anemia, erythroblastosis or thrombocytopenia are observed

mortality/aging
• most die within a few days after birth, although some survive for as long as 6 weeks

respiratory system
• those that survive past the neonatal period, eventually die of respiratory failure

reproductive system
• because of the spermatogenic arrest in the seminiferous tubules, the epididymis is devoid of sperm cells
• starting from P25, surviving males show reduced diameter of the tubules and lumen and the interstitial tissue is more abundant
• starting from P25, the epithelial cells show a multilayered deposition with disorderly arrangement
