mortality/aging
• mice inheriting the mutation maternally die perinatally with no milk in their stomachs and non-inflated lungs

cellular
• in mice inheriting the mutation maternally, maternally expressed genes are silenced and paternally expressed genes are activated and both the maternal and paternal alleles of the nearby intergenic differentially methylated region and the differentially methylated region associated with the gene are methylated in embryos

muscle
• in embryos inheriting the mutation maternally muscle maturation beyond the myotube stage is delayed
• in mice inheriting the mutation maternally muscles consist mainly of myofibers with centrally localized nuclei or areas of central clearing characteristics of immature muscle fibers

respiratory system
• lungs of neonates inheriting the mutation maternally fail to inflate

growth/size/body
• mice inheriting the mutation paternally weigh about 13.3% less than their wild-type littermates at E18.5

embryo
• in mice inheriting the mutation paternally
