mortality/aging
• slight lethality before birth
|
• most homozygotes die within 24 hours of birth
|
• most mutant mice exhibit early postnatal lethality
• about 10% of homozygotes survive beyond weaning; these do not exhibit cleft palate nor intestinal abnormalities
|
behavior/neurological
respiratory system
• severe
|
homeostasis/metabolism
craniofacial
• observed in those mice that die early
|
digestive/alimentary system
• observed in those mice that die early
|
• inflated abdomen due to air bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract
• markedly shortened intestine with coagulated blood
|
skeleton
• ossified parts of the humerus are shorter than normal
