N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
decreased body weight ( J:103605 )
• seen in about 50% of mice
enlarged spleen ( J:103605 )
• increase in size is similar to mice homozygous for Bcl2l11tm1.1Ast alone

reproductive system
abnormal seminiferous tubule morphology ( J:103605 )
• variable abnormalities are seen including vacuolation, multi-nucleate syncytia, accumulation of spermatocytes, and apparent reduction in tubular cellularity, diameter, and lumen size
• the spermatogonia layer is thicker than in wild-type being up to 3 cell layers thick
decreased testis weight ( J:103605 )
• testes weight is reduced at P21 and in adults testes weigh about 60% that of wild-type; however serum concentrations of inhibin and follicle stimulating hormone are normal
abnormal spermatogenesis ( J:103605 )
• at P15 the number of germ cells in the testis is increased and these are mostly c-Kit+ early germ cells, but in adult males the number of germ cells is decreased by up to 10-fold compared to wild-type
• in adult males the proportion of early germ cells is increased up to 10-fold compared to controls; however the absolute number is similar to controls
arrest of male meiosis ( J:103605 )
• arrest is later than in Baxtm1Sjk homozygotes as some round spermatids are present but no elongating spermatids are seen
male infertility ( J:103605 )
• males but not females are sterile

immune system
enlarged spleen ( J:103605 )
• increase in size is similar to mice homozygous for Bcl2l11tm1.1Ast alone

• in bone marrow
abnormal T cell differentiation ( J:103605 )
