mortality/aging
• most double heterozygotes die a few hours after birth; only 10% survive up to 8 days

nervous system
• at P4, there is a significant reduction in the number of mitotic cells in the rostral migratory stream of brains from mutants at P4
|
• at P4, there is a significant reduction in the number of dividing cells in the subventricular zone of brains from double heterozygotes
• at P8, the subventricular zone is noticeably thinner, with reduced cellularity and a 60% reduction in the number of proliferating cells compared to wild-type
