mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: at N10, mortality in litters from homozygous matings in the early postnatal period is 2.2-fold greater than that observed in the F2 mixed background homozygous matings
• Background Sensitivity: at N10, progeny survival is improved with the number of pregnancies the females had experienced, although survival never exceeds 50%
|
growth/size/body
• homozygotes have a significantly lower (20-25%) body weight than controls
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• in 15-week old virgin mice, ductal branching is poor and the fat pad is not completely filled
|
• homozygous or heterozygous pups are not fed by Nme1-deficient females and usually die from dehydration; homozygous pups do have a normal suckling reflex
