| Summary |
5 genotypes
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |

• in 2 homozygotes that survived to at least 6 weeks of age, injection with anti-Fas antibody Jo2 caused death, as seen in wildtype mice, but at 6 hours which is a delay in timeline, and the apoptotic pathway aberrently involves activation, but not altered expression, of caspases 2, 6, and 7
