cardiovascular system
• depressed left ventricular contractile function and impaired relaxation in the absence of cardiac hypertrophy or increased mortality are seen in homozygotes
|
reproductive system
• no spermatids beyond step 4 or rarely step 5 of spermatogenesis are seen in homozygotes
|
small testis
(
J:31889
)
• adult testes are smaller in size and weight in mutants compared to wild-type littermates
|
• males are completely sterile
