mortality/aging
• some mice die within a few days after birth
• however, viable mice exhibit normal life span

reproductive system
• no offspring are produced from breeding homozygotes
• Background Sensitivity: viability of offspring is improved by greater 129 contribution to the background compared with mice with a greater C57BL/6 contribution to the background
• however, homozygotes bred to wild-type mice produce offspring

nervous system
N
• 8 week old male mice exhibit normal brain weight and normal appearance of the neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum
• in primary cultures, Schwann cells isolated from dorsal root and nerves exhibit 2 times longer cell processes compared with wild-type cells
• longer processes in cultured motor neurons from E14.5 spinal cords
• 3 times longer neurites from cultured P7 cerebella neurons
• in primary cultures of Schwann cells from dorsal root and nerves
• in primary cultures, Schwann cells isolated from dorsal root and nerves exhibit 2 times longer cell processes compared with wild-type cells
• in primary cultures, Schwann cells isolated from dorsal root and nerves exhibit 2 times longer cell processes compared with wild-type cells
• longer processes in cultured motor neurons from E14.5 spinal cords
• 3 times longer neurites from cultured P7 cerebella neurons

growth/size/body
• Background Sensitivity: increased tooth growth in mice with a greater C57BL/6 contribution to the background compared with mice with a greater 129 contribution to the background
• in some mice
• between 6 and 52 weeks

limbs/digits/tail
• decreased weight in 8 week old male mice
• Background Sensitivity: more severe in mice with a greater C57BL/6 contribution to the background compared with mice with a greater 129 contribution to the background

liver/biliary system
• in 8 week old male mice

renal/urinary system
• in 8 week old male mice

cardiovascular system
• in 8 week old male mice

craniofacial
• Background Sensitivity: increased tooth growth in mice with a greater C57BL/6 contribution to the background compared with mice with a greater 129 contribution to the background

homeostasis/metabolism
• after femoral nerve injury, mice exhibit accelerated functional recovery and accelerated axonal regeneration compared with wild-type mice
• however, injured mice exhibit normal motor innervation pattern, remyelination and cell proliferation

integument
• skin fragility at 4 to 6 months

cellular
• in primary cultures, Schwann cells isolated from dorsal root and nerves exhibit 2 times longer cell processes compared with wild-type cells
• longer processes in cultured motor neurons from E14.5 spinal cords
• 3 times longer neurites from cultured P7 cerebella neurons
• in primary cultures of Schwann cells from dorsal root and nerves

skeleton
• Background Sensitivity: increased tooth growth in mice with a greater C57BL/6 contribution to the background compared with mice with a greater 129 contribution to the background
• decreased weight in 8 week old male mice
