• Background Sensitivity: after several backcrosses to C57BL/6, some mice die within 4-6 hours after birth from brain hemorrhaging

reproductive system
N
• females exhibit normal ovarian histology and follicle counts at 18 days (prepubertal) and at 7 months of age, indicating normal folliculogenesis
• reduced female fertility is likely due to subtle defects in oogenesis resulting in smaller oocytes with compromised cytoplasmic competence
• fully grown oocytes from hyperstimulated females are significantly smaller than control oocytes, as determined by germinal vesicle diameter
• in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) analysis revealed that only 80% of germinal vesicle-intact oocytes arrested in prophase of meiosis I are able to resume meiosis and reach metaphase of meiosis I (MI) within 8 h relative to ~90% in controls
• however, spindle morphology and chromosome alignment are normal at the MI stage and no chromosome segregation defects are observed following IVM
• females show a mild subfertility phenotype
• when bred with wild type male mice for 6 months, adult females produce a significantly lower average litter size than controls
