digestive/alimentary system
• Paneth cells are randomly distributed in crypts and villi in mutants whereas they are localized to the base of crypts in wild-type mice
• highest number of mispositioned cells is found in the duodenum
• mispositioned cells contain no beta-catenin, and do not express cryptdin-1 mRNA, but contain lysozyme like normal Paneth cells
