• collapse of capillary lumens at 21 months of age
• an occasional mutant develops hematuria
• up to 75% of glomeruli exhibit moderate to severe mesangial lesions at 21 months of age
• mesangial hypercellularity noted in 6-mo-old mice that have undergone unilateral nephrectomy at 3 months and are then fed a high-protein diet
• electron-dense tubulo-fibrillar structures arranged in parallel arrays are detected in the mesangial matrix at 21 months, consistent with immune complex deposits

• immune complexes of IgG, IgM, IgA, and in some cases C1q, C3, and C9 are detected in the mesangium at 21 months of age
• increased deposition of C1q and C3 in 6-mo-old mice that have undergone unilateral nephrectomy at 3 months and are then fed a high-protein diet
• immune complexes of IgG, IgM and IgA are noted as early as 4 weeks of age

nervous system
• at 6 months of age, most mice have substantial amyloid beta (Abeta) deposits
• by 12 months of age, mice have more amyloid beta (Abeta) deposits in the hippocampus and cortex than other genotypes
• Abeta deposits are more numerous and fill all parts of hippocampus and some of the cortex by 12 months; abundant compact and diffuse plaques are observed
• mice have greater levels of thioflavine-S-positive (fibrillar) Abeta deposits than other genotypes, similar to transgenic homozygotes with normal Apoe and Clu
• at 3 months, cerebrospinal fluid levels of Abeta40 are elevated; Abeta40 increase is greater than in transgenic, single Apoe-null mice
• at 3 months, cerebrospinal fluid levels of Abeta42 are elevated

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice have significant amyloid burden, greater than shown by other genotypes
• at 12 months, mice have highest tissue levels of soluble Abeta40 and Abeta42, with high levels of insoluble Abeta42
