mortality/aging
• numbers of homozygous mice born only about half expected
|
• deficits in numbers of homozygotes seen as early as E13.5
|
embryo
• less than 10% of 8 cell embryos develop to a later stage in vitro
|
• by E6.5, homozygotes are smaller than wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
• less than 10% of 8 cell embryos develop to a later stage in vitro
|
• by E6.5, homozygotes are smaller than wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• progesterone levels drop to 6.5% of normal levels at day 2.5 after ovulation
|
reproductive system
small uterus
(
J:77893
)
