N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• when this allele is inherited paternally, only one quarter of expected mice survive to reproduce
• mice die within 4 weeks regardless of whether the allele is inherited maternally or paternally
• when this allele is inherited paternally, half of mice born die within a few days after birth
• when this allele is inherited paternally, the number of mice born is lower than expected

growth/size/body
• more so when this allele is inherited paternally than when it is inherited maternally
• regardless of whether the allele is inherited maternally or paternally, mice fail to maintain the same growth rate as wild-type mice

liver/biliary system
• when this allele is inherited maternally, mice develop hepatocellular necrosis unlike wild-type mice

respiratory system
• when this allele is inherited maternally, mice develop severely hypoplastic pulmonary alveoli diagnosed by incomplete development of alveolar sacs along with the formation of a thin respiratory epithelium unlike wild-type mice
