mortality/aging
N
• Background Sensitivity: survival characteristics essentially normal although blood clotting defect remains

homeostasis/metabolism
• platelet aggregation fails
• absence of fibrinogen A alpha chain results in secondary loss of B beta and gamma chains in circulation but not their synthesis in the liver
• no other abnormal blood parameters
• blood unable to clot

cardiovascular system
• bleeding into uterine cavity
• overt vaginal bleeding beginning about ten days into pregnancy
• overt bleeding in joints develops within 2 days of birth in many mice but rarely fatal
• overt intra-abdominal and periumbilical bleeding develops within 2 days of birth in many mice
• Background Sensitivity: does not particularly affect survival
• hepatic subcapsular hematomas developing into fibrotic scars
• normal at birth
• subcutaneous bleeding develops within 2 days of birth in many mice but rarely fatal

reproductive system
• bleeding into uterine cavity
• overt vaginal bleeding beginning about ten days into pregnancy
• overt vaginal bleeding beginning about ten days into pregnancy
• about 1/3 die by day 12 of pregnancy
• bleeding into uterine cavity occurs
• embryo development arrested around day 9 to 10 of pregnancy
• death of embryos around time when trophoblasts invade and disrupt maternal vasculature
• homozygous females fail to give birth to live offspring

nervous system
• increased numbers of myelinating fibers after crush injury of the sciatic nerve and less proliferation of Schwann cells
• by 35 days after nerve injury, recovery is comparable to controls

hematopoietic system
• platelet aggregation fails

skeleton
• overt bleeding in joints develops within 2 days of birth in many mice but rarely fatal

immune system
• absence of fibrinogen A alpha chain results in secondary loss of B beta and gamma chains in circulation but not their synthesis in the liver
• no other abnormal blood parameters

integument
• normal at birth
• subcutaneous bleeding develops within 2 days of birth in many mice but rarely fatal

liver/biliary system
• hepatic subcapsular hematomas developing into fibrotic scars
