N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mutants are lethargic at 9-12 weeks of age

hematopoietic system
• normochromic, normocytic anemia

homeostasis/metabolism
• more than 10 times the nomral levels of creatinine

renal/urinary system
• renal lesions are first detected at 2.5 weeks of age with swelling of the endothelial cells and hyaline deposits
• no patent capillary loops can be seen at 9 weeks of age
• at 2.5 weeks of age, mice display swelling of the endothelial cells (endotheliosis)
• endothelial cells become necrotic by 9 weeks of age
• endothelial fenestrations are no longer identifiable by 9 weeks of age
• however, well-formed endothelial fenestrations are present at 2.5 weeks of age
• podocytes containing large empty cytoplasmic vacuoles are seen by 9 weeks of age
• no podocyte foot processes are identifiable by 9 weeks of age
• at 6.5 weeks of age, the glomerular basement membrane is expanded
• expansion of the mesangial matrix is seen by 9 weeks of age
• hyaline deposits are first detected at 2.5 weeks of age
• pale, shrunken kidneys at 9 weeks of age
• glomerular tufts are retracted by 9 weeks of age
• dilated tubules can be seen at 9 weeks of age
• dilated tubules are packed with proteinaceous material in most places
• at 9 weeks of age
• develop end-stage kidney failure by 9-12 weeks of age
• no gross signs of renal failure prior to 7-8 weeks of age

integument

cardiovascular system
• no patent capillary loops can be seen at 9 weeks of age
• at 2.5 weeks of age, mice display swelling of the endothelial cells (endotheliosis)
• endothelial cells become necrotic by 9 weeks of age
• endothelial fenestrations are no longer identifiable by 9 weeks of age
• however, well-formed endothelial fenestrations are present at 2.5 weeks of age
