mortality/aging
|
• a small number of homozygotes die by 8 weeks of age
|
reproductive system
 |
• seminal vesicles lack any sign of folding and are more darkly colored due to lack of secretions in the lumen
• however, testes, epididymis, vas deferens, and prostate are normal
|
|
|
• seminal vesicle precursors grown in organ culture exhibit very little epithelial branching compared to extensive branching in wild-type
|
|
• the epithelium of the finger-like projections of the seminal vesicles contains scattered large cells with large nuclei and multiple nucleoli

(
