decreased thermal nociceptive threshold ( J:182796 )

abnormal social investigation ( J:182796 )

• in a partition test, mice exhibit increased social interest compared with wild-type mice

• in a direct social interaction test, mice are more active social than wild-type mice

• in a three chamber apparatus, mice spend more time in the social chamber compared with wild-type mice

nervous system

decreased brain size ( J:182796 )

• in female, but not male, mice

small lateral ventricles ( J:182796 )

• reduced

increased neuron number ( J:182796 )

• mice exhibit an increase in the number of neurons in layer V of the somatosensory cortex compared with wild-type mice

craniofacial phenotype ( J:182796 )

N	• mice exhibit normal teeth morphology

increased cranium length ( J:182796 )

cardiovascular system phenotype ( J:182796 )

N	• abdominal aortic wall motion is normal

skeleton

increased cranium length ( J:182796 )

• longer skull in male mice than in wild-type mice

• however, female skull length is almost normal

♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

mortality/aging

lethality, incomplete penetrance ( J:182796 )

• fewer than expected mice are produced

premature death ( J:182796 )

• some female mice exhibit rectal or vaginal prolapse leading to euthanasia

reproductive system

abnormal vagina morphology ( J:182796 )

• vaginal prolapse in some female mice leading to euthanasia

behavior/neurological

decreased exploration in new environment ( J:182796 )

nervous system

decreased brain size ( J:182796 )

decreased brain weight ( J:182796 )

small lateral ventricles ( J:182796 )

• reduced

increased neuron number ( J:182796 )

• mice exhibit an increase in the number of neurons in layer V of the somatosensory cortex compared with wild-type mice

craniofacial

craniofacial phenotype ( J:182796 )

N	• mice exhibit normal teeth morphology

abnormal cranium size ( J:182796 )

• foreshortened, more so in female mice than in male mice

decreased cranium width ( J:182796 )

• in the anterior and mid-portions, more so in female mice than in male mice

short face ( J:182796 )

• shortened face

growth/size/body

short face ( J:182796 )

• shortened face

decreased body weight ( J:182796 )

• from P1 to P5 onward

• more severe in male mice than in female mice
