mortality/aging
N |
• unlike null mice, all knock in mice survive
|
cellular
• all mice carry a maternally inherited mutant allele
|
growth/size/body
N |
• unlike null mice, knock in mice grow at a rate similar to controls
|
• thinning of the abdominal wall or omphalocele are seen
|
omphalocele
(
J:147145
)
• thinning of the abdominal wall or omphalocele are seen
|
renal/urinary system
• dysplasia
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• enlargement is less pronounced compared to null mice
|
reproductive system
|
• present in 2 of 9 mice
• incidence is decreased compared to null mice
|
|
• present in 3 of 15 mice
• incidence is decreased compared to null mice
|
embryo
• dysplasia
|
digestive/alimentary system
N |
• cleft palate and shortening of the intestines seen in null mice are largely corrected in knock in mice
|
vision/eye
N |
• unlike null mice, knock in mice do not develop cataracts and do not display increased cell proliferation in the lens
|
skeleton
N |
• rib and vertebral deformities, delayed bone ossification, decreased length of the long bones, and aberrant cell proliferation seen in null mice are largely corrected in knock in mice
