mortality/aging
• partial embryonic or perinatal lethality
|
• partial embryonic lethality
|
growth/size/body
• markedly
• weights only 65% of controls at weaning and retardation persists throughout adulthood
• body length proportional to weight
|
reproductive system
• in both sexes
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• undetectable in neonates
|
• levels normal at weaning
• elevated 50% in adults
|
• T4 levels barely detectable in newborn
• serum T4 reduced more than 95% at weaning
• adult T4 levels 27% control levels
|
• serum T3 levels reduced 50% at weaning
• adult T3 levels 80% of control levels
|
• T3 levels elevated 4 fold at 5 days of age, declining to normal levels at 10 days and continuing to decline to weaning
• serum clearance of T3 is defective
|
cellular
• expression is preferentially from the paternal allele
