mortality/aging
• mutant mice were stillborn or died within 24 hours of birth
|
renal/urinary system
• renal development is arrested
|
absent kidney
(
J:48481
)
• bilateral renal agenesis
|
• at E11.5, kidney rudiments contain an unbranched uteric bud that is not surrounded by condensed metanephric mesenchyme in contrast to controls
• at E12.5, no branching of the uteric bud is seen with no overt signs of mesenchymal condensation
|
skeleton
• vertebral fusions in two of 7 mutants
|
• global increase in bone mineralization
|
• ectopic ossification of the sternum
|
