growth/size/body
• homozygotes display developmental abnormalities
|
• at 3 weeks of age, mutants are many-fold smaller than littermate controls
|
hematopoietic system
• gamma-delta and triple negative thymocytes show enhanced proliferation in mutants
|
• at E18.5, a decrease in number and proportion of gamma-deltal TCR+ (T cell receptor) cells is observed compared to littermate controls and heterozygotes
|
