• mice with this mutation do not develop xanthomas when fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet
• mice with this mutation do not become obese when fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet
• on a chow diet, 14 week old homozygous mutant mice exhibit significantly higher total cholesterol levels than either heterozygous mutants or control C57BL/6J mice
• after 5 weeks on a high fat, high cholesterol diet, 14 week old homozygous mutant mice exhibit dramatically elevated levels of total serum cholesterol
• on a chow diet, 14 week old homozygous mutant mice exhibit significantly higher HDL cholesterol levels than either heterozygous mutants or control C57BL/6J mice
• after 5 weeks on a high fat, high cholesterol diet, 14 week old homozygous mutant mice exhibit greatly elevated HDL cholesterol levels

cardiovascular system
• all mice with this mutation fed an atherogenic diet for 5 weeks develop severe aortic atherosclerosis with collagen deposition, atherosclerosis of the pulmonary arteries, and incipient lesions with foam cell accumulation in the coronary arteries

liver/biliary system
• 14 week old homozygous mutants fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet for 5 weeks have a 50% prevalence of cholesterol gallstones

vision/eye
• observed in some homozygotes

hematopoietic system
• lesions with foam cell accumulations are seen in coronary arteries

immune system
• lesions with foam cell accumulations are seen in coronary arteries

• mice with this mutation do not develop xanthomas when fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet
• mice with this mutation do not become obese when fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet
• on a chow diet, 14 week old heterozygous mutant female, but not male, mice exhibit significantly (p<=0.05) greater elevation of total serum cholesterol than do C57BL/6J controls
• after 5 weeks on a high fat, high cholesterol diet, 14 week old heterozygous mutant mice exhibit significantly (p<=0.05) greater elevation of total serum cholesterol than do C57BL/6J control mice; heterozygous G3 female mice (N=4) exhibited, on average, 4.5-fold baseline levels of total cholesterol, versus 2.5-fold baseline for controls
• on a chow diet, 14 week old heterozygous mutant female, but not male, mice exhibit significantly (p<=0.05) greater elevation of HDL cholesterol than do C57BL/6J controls
