mortality/aging
• mice die within 5 days of birth
|

renal/urinary system
• mice are born with nephrotic-range proteinuria
|
• mice exhibit broadened primary processes and shortened secondary foot processes
|
• mice show a substantial percentage (20%) of open slits showing some residual parts of a shortened slit diaphragm (22 nm)
• glomeruli show thin and short strand-like junctions between incompletely effaced foot processes
|
• glomeruli show signs of increased tubular protein uptake with mice showing protein-filled proximal tubular cells
