mortality/aging
• mice by before 6 months of age
• fewer than expected mice are born
• mice exhibit signs of premature aging such as cachexia, graying hair, kyphosis, osteoporosis, accumulation of fat in the bone marrow, decreased hair follicles and thinner epidermis prior to premature death at less than 6 months of age

reproductive system
• impaired
• degenerating in newborn mice

cellular
• more mouse embryonic fibroblasts accumulate at G2 than wild-type cells
• embryonic and newborn brains exhibit apoptosis and replicative stress in replicating areas unlike in wild-type mice
• treatment of mouse embryonic fibroblasts with PIKK inhibitors increased apoptosis compared to similarly treated wild-type cells
• impaired
• in mouse embryonic fibroblasts
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts and E13.5 whole embryos exhibit replicative stress-initiated DNA damage response unlike wild-type cells
• adult tissues exhibit a marginal increase in replicative stress-initiated DNA damage response
• embryonic and newborn brains exhibit apoptosis and replicative stress in replicating areas unlike in wild-type mice
• at metaphase in mouse embryonic fibroblasts unlike in wild-type cells

skeleton
• indentations of the sutures between the cranial bones are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• 6 of 9 mice exhibit a deficient closure of the fontanelles unlike in wild-type mice
• at 2 months of age
• at 2 months, mice exhibit an accumulation of fat in the bone marrow unlike wild-type mice

growth/size/body
• receding forehead
• mice exhibit dysmorphic heads with receding forehead compared with wild-type mice
• at 3 months, head circumference is reduced compared to in wild-type mice

nervous system
• mice develop brain cysts unlike wild-type mice
• at 6 weeks, mice exhibit severe loss of astrocytes at the corpus callosum unlike in wild-type mice

homeostasis/metabolism
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts and E13.5 whole embryos exhibit replicative stress-initiated DNA damage response unlike wild-type cells
• adult tissues exhibit a marginal increase in replicative stress-initiated DNA damage response
• embryonic and newborn brains exhibit apoptosis and replicative stress in replicating areas unlike in wild-type mice

immune system
• thymus weight is decreased and not restored by transfer of wild-type bone marrow

liver/biliary system

embryo
• placentas exhibit an accumulation of necrotic areas and an overall loss of cellularity unlike wild-type placenta

respiratory system

hematopoietic system
• thymus weight is decreased and not restored by transfer of wild-type bone marrow
• in young mice, the number of long-term hematopoietic stem cells is high while the number of multipotent progenitors is low compared to in wild-type mice
• when bone marrow cells are transplanted into irradiated mice reconstitution of the granulocyte population occurs but stem cell niches are compromised

craniofacial
• indentations of the sutures between the cranial bones are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• 6 of 9 mice exhibit a deficient closure of the fontanelles unlike in wild-type mice
• receding forehead
• mice exhibit dysmorphic heads with receding forehead compared with wild-type mice

endocrine/exocrine glands
• thymus weight is decreased and not restored by transfer of wild-type bone marrow
• degenerating in newborn mice
