growth/size/body
• by 4 days of age, mutants are smaller than wild-type littermates; this is more apparent by 3 weeks of age
|
homeostasis/metabolism
albuminuria
(
J:107630
)
• at 3.5 and 4.5 weeks of age, mutants show excessive amounts of albumin in their urine, indicating damage to the filtration barrier
|
renal/urinary system
albuminuria
(
J:107630
)
• at 3.5 and 4.5 weeks of age, mutants show excessive amounts of albumin in their urine, indicating damage to the filtration barrier
|
• by 3.5 weeks of age, loss of podocytes is observed
|
• at E16.5, differentiated foot processes are absent in mutant embryos
|
• in 4-day old mutants, there is complete fusion of foot processes around the capillary loops of the glomeruli
|
• by 3.5 weeks of age, focal sclerosis and other defects are observed in the glomeruli
|
• by 3.5 weeks of age, focal sclerosis is observed in the glomeruli
|
renal cast
(
J:107630
)
• mutants have a buildup of proteinaceous material in the kidney tubules
|
• damaged glomerular filtration barrier
