mortality/aging
• all mice die within 3 weeks after birth, possibly due to hydrocephalus
|
• birth rate is lower than that expected from Mendelian ratios
|
growth/size/body
megacephaly
(
J:327251
)
• mice exhibit a larger head size than wild-type or heterozygous mice
|
• mice develop slowly relative to wild-type or heterozygous mice
|
nervous system
• the craniocerebral diameter ratio is significantly lower than that in wild-type or heterozygous mice, and brain tissue appears sunken rather than full
|
hydrocephaly
(
J:327251
)
• mice show significantly larger lateral ventricles than wild-type or heterozygous mice
|
• mice exhibit disordered circulation of cerebrospinal fluid
