mortality/aging
• 43% of mice die by 72 hours after birth, 77% of mice die by P17, and no mice survive past weaning
|
immune system
• thymic cortex thickness is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
small spleen
(
J:155406
)
skeleton
• trabecular volume is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• the number of active osteoblasts over bone surface is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• trabecular number is decreased compared to controls
|
homeostasis/metabolism
growth/size/body
• at P14
|
• by P18, mice exhibit decreased weight or multiple organs and increased brain weight consistent with wasting
|
nervous system
liver/biliary system
neoplasm
N |
• unlike mice homozygous for other null alleles, mice exhibit no bone lesions compatible with osteosarcoma
