• the number of germ cells in males is normal at postnatal day 7, greatly reduced by day 10 and absent by day 14
• no meiotic germ cells are evident
• by six weeks of age testes have no germ cells
• by 10 days of age, Sertoli cells over-proliferate and remain immature

reproductive system
• the number of germ cells in males is normal at postnatal day 7, greatly reduced by day 10 and absent by day 14
• no meiotic germ cells are evident
• by six weeks of age testes have no germ cells
• tubules lack lumen
• tubules are populated by immature Sertoli cells
• cells overproliferate, fail to differentiate and die after the mouse is born
• defects resemble those in humans with distal 9p deletions

endocrine/exocrine glands
• at P9 Sertoli cells are randomly distributed unlike in controls
• at P14 tubules lack luminal space and are instead filled with a poorly organized mix of Sertoli cells and differentiating germ cells
• at P28 tubules contain no apparent germ cells and are filled with randomized, unpolarized Sertoli cells with immature morphology
• Sertoli cells fail to migrate properly and retain an immature morphology at P28

reproductive system
• by P9 the distribution of germs cells is highly abnormal with more cells in the center and fewer cells at the periphery of the tubules
• meiosis initiates but germ cells are absent by P28
