craniofacial
• at 8 weeks, a small number of mutants exhibit backward growth of the teeth
• feeding a liquid diet results in long-term survival but does not improve the teeth or humpback deformities

homeostasis/metabolism
• hemizygotes show generalized aminoaciduria
• hyperaminoaciduria is more pronounced for neutral and polar amino acids, e.g. citrulline (94-fold increase), hydroxyproline (24-fold increase), cysteine (22-fold increase), glutamine (11-fold increase) and threonine (10-fold increase)
• in contrast, plasma levels of amino acids remain unaffected relative to wild-type
• 24-fold increase in urine hydroxyproline level
• 22-fold increase in urine cysteine levels
• 11-fold increase in urine glutamine levels
• 10-fold increase in urine threonine levels
• hemizygotes exhibit significant glycosuria that is not associated with hyperglycemia
• hemizygotes display a 2-fold increase in daily urinary excretion of calcium relative to wild-type
• hemizygotes display a severe impairment of protein endocytosis by the kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) (J:66560)
• analytical subcellular fractionation and quantitative immunogold labeling revealed that impaired apical protein endocytosis is due to a trafficking defect of megalin and cubilin in PTCs (J:84433)
• failure of apical endocytosis ocucrs in the absence of ultrastructural changes in PTCs or deficits in rate-limiting endocytic catalysts (J:84433)
• hemizygotes show a low molecular weight proteinuria that includes vitamin D binding protein (DBP, 50 kDa) and Clara cell protein (CC16, 16 kDa)
• specifically, hemizygotes show a 200-fold increase in urinary CC16 excretion relative to wild-type; in contrast, plasma CC16 concentrations remain normal

renal/urinary system
N
• hemizygotes display normal kidney clearance, as assessed by plasma creatinine and creatinine clearance standardized for body weight
• hemizygotes show generalized aminoaciduria
• hyperaminoaciduria is more pronounced for neutral and polar amino acids, e.g. citrulline (94-fold increase), hydroxyproline (24-fold increase), cysteine (22-fold increase), glutamine (11-fold increase) and threonine (10-fold increase)
• in contrast, plasma levels of amino acids remain unaffected relative to wild-type
• 24-fold increase in urine hydroxyproline level
• 22-fold increase in urine cysteine levels
• 11-fold increase in urine glutamine levels
• 10-fold increase in urine threonine levels
• hemizygotes exhibit significant glycosuria that is not associated with hyperglycemia
• hemizygotes display a 2-fold increase in daily urinary excretion of calcium relative to wild-type

• hemizygotes show a low molecular weight proteinuria that includes vitamin D binding protein (DBP, 50 kDa) and Clara cell protein (CC16, 16 kDa)
• specifically, hemizygotes show a 200-fold increase in urinary CC16 excretion relative to wild-type; in contrast, plasma CC16 concentrations remain normal
• mutant kidneys exhibit microscopic calcium deposits at the cortico-medullary junction
• mutant kidneys appear histologically normal but exhibit microscopic calcium deposits at the cortico-medullary junction, indicating nephrocalcinosis
• in some hemizygotes, the polyuria, which correlates with glycosuria, results in a daily diuresis that is 50% greater than that in wild-type littermates and is equivalent to 30% of body weight

skeleton
• at 8 weeks, a small number of mutants exhibit backward growth of the teeth
• feeding a liquid diet results in long-term survival but does not improve the teeth or humpback deformities
• most mutants are viable at birth and display normal growth and survival to reproductive age
• however, at 8 weeks, ~7% of mutants show hump deformities of the dorsal spine, in the absence of osteopenia or rickets

growth/size/body
• at 8 weeks, a small number of mutants exhibit backward growth of the teeth
• feeding a liquid diet results in long-term survival but does not improve the teeth or humpback deformities
