mortality/aging
• all mice die before P12

growth/size/body
• heart weight to body weight and heart weight to tibial length ratios are increased starting at P5

cardiovascular system
• cardiomyocytes from P5 mice do not show membrane invaginations typical of initial T-tubule formation and organized T-tubules are completely absent at P10
• in E18.5 cardiomyocytes, the 12 nm peripheral junctions are decreased, while the 30 nm junctions are increased, indicating impaired associations between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and sarcolemma
• however, cardiomyocytes show no alteration of sarcomeres or Z-disc structure
• heart weight to body weight and heart weight to tibial length ratios are increased starting at P5
• mice develop progressive dilated cardiomyopathy
• echocardiography shows altered cardiac function, with decreased percent fractional shortening seen at P1, P5 and P10, and increased left ventricular diameter at end-diastole and end-systole at P5 and P10
• cardiomyocytes isolated at E18.5 exhibit reduced amplitude of calcium transients and slower decay of the calcium transient (Tau)

homeostasis/metabolism
• hearts show organized thrombus in the left ventricle of the heart

muscle
• cardiomyocytes from P5 mice do not show membrane invaginations typical of initial T-tubule formation and organized T-tubules are completely absent at P10
• in E18.5 cardiomyocytes, the 12 nm peripheral junctions are decreased, while the 30 nm junctions are increased, indicating impaired associations between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and sarcolemma
