mortality/aging
• incomplete penetrance; fewer homozygous embryos survived until the blastocyst stage; in vitro studies demonstrated a 62% mortality at 96 hours after hCG injection
|
embryo
• higher rates of degeneration during in vitro preimplantation development
|
• fewer homozygous embryos survived until the blastocyst stage and those that did survive developed more slowly than controls
|
reproductive system
• the average gestational length was 12.72 hours longer than controls
|
• the average litter size was reduced from 6.29 +/- 1.1 to 4.64 +/- 1.6 pups
|
growth/size/body
• fewer homozygous embryos survived until the blastocyst stage and those that did survive developed more slowly than controls
