reproductive system
• homozygous males have reduced numbers of sperm cells
|
• sperm cells of male homozygotes are abnormally shaped
|
• male mice homozygous for this mutation are sterile
|
nervous system
N |
• homozygous drunk and wild-type mice recover at the same rate following sciatic nerve crush injury
|
• degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells of homozygous mutant mice is first observable when the mice are approximately 3 weeks of age and progresses rapidly until virtually all cells are lost by 7 weeks
|
• degeneration of photoreceptor cells of homozygous mutants begins at about 6 weeks of age
|

vision/eye
