N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
N
• the great majority of mice survive to adulthood

nervous system
• massive depletion of retrotrapezoid nucleus neurons at P9
• frequency of rhythmic phrenic discharges is reduced and does not respond to acidification

respiratory system
• hypoxic response is more vigorous (increase in ventilation is more pronounced and lasts longer) compared to controls
• exposure to pure O2 triggers periodic breathing in mutants but not in controls
• in normoxia mean ventilation is reduced due to longer breath duration
• complete absence of normal response to hypercapnia at P2 and P9
• at 3 weeks and 4 months of age mice display a reduced increase in ventilation in response to hypercapnia

homeostasis/metabolism
• slight but statistically significant increase in pH
