mortality/aging
• one mouse survived for 7 days, but was reduced in size relative to wild-type and exhibited severe proteinuria
|
• 13 of 14 homozygotes die shortly after birth
|
renal/urinary system
• severe proteinuria exhibited by a mouse that survived the perinatal period
|
• described as nephrotic syndrome
