mortality/aging
• most mice die before 12 weeks of age
• Background Sensitivity: life span is reduced compared to mice on a mixed 129 and C57BL/6J background

craniofacial
• defects in the shape of the skull vault
• rounder and shorter head
• rounder and shorter head

growth/size/body
• increase in the heart to body weight ratio
• rounder and shorter head
• rounder and shorter head
• by P5
• phenotype becomes worse with age
• by P5
• phenotype becomes worse with age

behavior/neurological
• characterized by increase in the frequency of repetitive movements and locomotion
• males fail to mate but are not infertile
• Background Sensitivity: crossing onto a CD1 background reduces the breeding problems

cardiovascular system
• increase in the heart to body weight ratio

vision/eye
