cardiovascular system
• show a gradual increase in left ventricle chamber size in some mutants by 12 weeks of age and in all mutants by 50 weeks of age
• exhibit a gradual development of dilated cardiomyopathy that is less pronounced than in Myh6tm1Ces heterozygotes
• isolated cardiac myocytes from 8-week old mutants have impaired contractile function, as indicated by reduced extent and rate of shortening, however to a lesser extent that in homozygotes
