N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• fewer than expected homozygotes are found, no time of lethality is provided

renal/urinary system
• microcystic tubules
• mild increase in Mg2+ excretion
• no alterations are detected in Ca2+, protein, or glucose excretion
• urine osmolality is decreased and water deprivation fails to increase urine osmolality
• significantly lower at 6 weeks of age
• in males fractional excretion of urate is about 100% indicating severely impaired urate reabsorption
• in females fractional excretion of urate is about 150% indicating severely impaired urate reabsorption and increased tubular excretion
• in males and females, 24 hr urate excretion is increased 20 to 30 fold
• severe chronic interstitial fibrosis is seen in fibrotic areas
• granular precipitates in atrophic tubules are surrounded by severe chronic inflammation
• progressive and severe chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis
• cortical atrophy
• at 16 weeks of age interstitial fibrosis with tubular atrophy is seen in about 50% of the superficial renal cortex
• granular precipitates in atrophic tubules are surrounded by interstitial fibrosis
• at 16 weeks of age interstitial fibrosis with tubular atrophy is seen in about 50% of the superficial renal cortex
• newborns display discrete signs of tubular dilation
• develop obstructive intratubular urate lithiasis by 2 weeks of age
• severely impaired urate reabsorption in the kidney
• urine volume is increased about 5 fold

homeostasis/metabolism
• plasma urate levels are increased
• mild increase in Mg2+ excretion
• no alterations are detected in Ca2+, protein, or glucose excretion
• urine osmolality is decreased and water deprivation fails to increase urine osmolality
• significantly lower at 6 weeks of age
• in males fractional excretion of urate is about 100% indicating severely impaired urate reabsorption
• in females fractional excretion of urate is about 150% indicating severely impaired urate reabsorption and increased tubular excretion
• in males and females, 24 hr urate excretion is increased 20 to 30 fold

behavior/neurological
• increase in water intake

growth/size/body
• beyond 37 weeks of age, males weigh less than controls
• microcystic tubules

immune system
• severe chronic interstitial fibrosis is seen in fibrotic areas
• granular precipitates in atrophic tubules are surrounded by severe chronic inflammation
• progressive and severe chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis
