)
• 20% of mating pairs failed to produce offspring; this phenotype observed only in homozygous x homozygous mating pairs
|
muscle
• in neonates, intestinal smooth muscle cell proliferation is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• however, apoptosis in intestinal smooth muscle cells is normal
|
growth/size/body
• homozygotes were on average 14% heavier than wild-type; increased weight may be due to defects in cellular proliferation as demonstrated in mutant liver tissue and embryonic fibroblasts

• no skeletal defects found in whole mount skeletal preparations
