mortality/aging
• mice died within 24 hours of birth due to renal failure
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• significantly higher blood urea nitrogen level in the sera relative to wild-type or heterozygous mutant mice
|
• significantly higher potassium level in the sera relative to wild-type or heterozygous mutant mice
|
renal/urinary system
• arrest of loop of Henle elongation associated with an increase in apoptosis
|
• arrest of loop of Henle elongation associated with a decrease in cell proliferation
|
• arrest of loop of Henle elongation associated with an increase in apoptosis and decrease in cell proliferation
• tubules of neprhons did not extend into the medulla
• retarded development of the proximal convoluted tubule and macula densa
|
• 20% reduction in weight relative to wild-type or heterozygous mutant mice
|
• tubules of neprhons did not extend into the medulla
|
• abnormal development of the distal convoluted tubule
• however, no significant difference in proximal tubule number relative to wild-type
|
• arrest of loop of Henle elongation
|
cellular
