mortality/aging
• no viable animals are recovered postnatally

endocrine/exocrine glands
• testicular dysgenesis
• testis development is severely affected by E12.5
• the interstitial compartment of the developing testes at E13.5 and E15.5 exhibits a high cellular density typical of irregular and dense connective tissues
• however, female germ cells are normal in numbers and ovarian differentiation occurs normally
• decrease in testis cord numbers
• alteration of the size and shape of testis cords which appear irregular and anastomotic
• however, differentiation of Sertoli cells appears normal
• marker analysis indicates that differentiation of fetal Leydig cells and steroidogenesis are not initiated at E12.5 and E13.5
• drastic reduction in testis size that is apparent from E12.5 to E15.5
