growth/size/body
• pups of the same sex measured weekly from 5-12 weeks of age weigh less than wild type controls at all time points
|
mortality/aging
• heterozygote x heterozygote matings produced fewer homozygotes than the expected Mendelian ratio
• Background Sensitivity: the number of homozygous pups produced from heterozygotes on the BALB/c, 129S6/SvEvTac, 129S6B6F1, 129S6AF1 and B6AF1 backgrounds reaches the expected Mendelian ratio
|
• median survival time is 353 days
• 8 mice out of 40 survive to 18 months of age
• Background Sensitivity: survival time (least to most) on the following strain backgrounds is ranked as BALB/c < 129S6/SvEvTac < 129S6AF1 < 129S6B6F1 < C57BL/6 < A/J < B6AF1
|
neoplasm
• Background Sensitivity: mice are less susceptible to thymic lymphomas than on the BALB/c, 129S6/SvEvTac, 129S6B6F1, 129S6AF1 backgrounds
• 21 out of 40 mice die of thymic lymphomas
