growth/size/body
• beginning at E14.5, mice carrying a paternally-inherited allele are smaller than wild-type mice
|
• mice carrying a paternally-inherited allele weigh 20%-25% less than wild-type littermates up to 6 weeks of age
• weight so internal organs (kidney, liver and lung) are decreased proportional to weight reduction

embryo
• beginning at E14.5, mice carrying a paternally-inherited allele are smaller than wild-type mice
|
liver/biliary system
• in mice carrying a paternally-inherited allele
|
renal/urinary system
• in mice carrying a paternally-inherited allele
|
respiratory system
• in mice carrying a paternally-inherited allele
|
cellular
• mice do not exhibit defects when the allele is inherited maternally
