mortality/aging
• most mice die within 2 weeks of birth; mortality rates at 8 weeks of age are 80.1% vs 4% of wild-type
|
growth/size/body
• relative to wild-type littermates, mice show growth retardation
|
reproductive system
• mice are unable to reproduce
|
integument
sparse hair
(

• mice show subepidermal blistering
|
• at birth, blisters and erosion at sites of trauma are easily induced by mild friction
