N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
N
• Background Sensitivity: mice exhibit no early mortality unlike on a background lacking 129S6/SvEvTac

reproductive system
N
• female mice are fertile
• mice exhibit a reduction in the number of elongating spermatids in the stage II-V tubules
• however, acrosome formation is normal
• short and disorganized
• mitochondria are either absent from the sperm tail or are highly disorganized
• fibrous sheath formation is defective
• very few mature sperm are present in the cauda epididymis

respiratory system
• the beat frequency of tracheal epithelial cilia is less than in wild-type mice

nervous system
N
• Background Sensitivity: mice do not exhibit evidence of gross hydrocephalus unlike on a background lacking 129S6/SvEvTac

immune system

cellular
• short and disorganized
• mitochondria are either absent from the sperm tail or are highly disorganized
• fibrous sheath formation is defective
• very few mature sperm are present in the cauda epididymis
• the beat frequency of tracheal epithelial cilia is less than in wild-type mice
