phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• homozygosity is lethal between E13.5 and E16.5 showing progressive necrosis; no homozygous newborn mice are found
• between E11.5 and E13.5, homozygous embryos are somewhat underrepresented from expected (14% actual vs 25% expected); most live embryos recovered at E13.5 exhibit subcutaneous edema and liver atrophy
• no viable homozygotes are recovered at birth

growth/size/body
• embryos are growth impaired

nervous system
• rostral neural tube closure defects are seen in homozygous embryos

cardiovascular system
• in homozygotes at E14.5 and E15.5, the ventricular septum is not closed completely
• some embryos show ectopic hemorrhage in the head region at E13.5
• hemorrhaging in the middle of the dorsal root ganglia and in the limb region is also observed (data not shown)

liver/biliary system

embryo
• embryos are growth impaired
• rostral neural tube closure defects are seen in homozygous embryos

mortality/aging
• normal numbers of pups are born but most die within 24 hours

immune system
• majority of P1 mutant thymocytes are dead or dying

• numbers of CD4+CD8+ cells are reduced in mutants compared to wild-type; this is similar in all mutant phenotypes (data not shown)

growth/size/body
• at birth, mutants are less than 2/3 the weight of normal littermates

cellular
• compound heterozygous mice display a higher percentage of GFP-expressing cells than heterozygotes
• significantly reduced methylation of transgene DNA in homozygous individuals (28 % of CpGs methylated) compared with wild type littermates (62 % of CpGs methylated), consistent with the change in transcriptional activity

• small in stature
