N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit impaired contextual long-term memory at 6 weeks of age
• mice make more entries into, travel greater distances, and spend increased time in the open arm of the elevated plus maze at 6 weeks of age, indicating decreased anxiety
• mice exhibit increased footslips when walking on an array of parallel bars, decreased ability to remain suspended on a 1/4 inch diameter dowel, and impaired ability to learn the accelerating rotating rod walking task at 6 weeks of age

cardiovascular system
• mice over 8 weeks of age show increased incidence of arrhythmia
• mice over 8 weeks of age show increased corrected QT interval time

growth/size/body
• mice are underweight at weaning but recover to wild-type body weight by 6 weeks of age

mortality/aging
• median survival of 61 days

nervous system
• mice exhibit decreased evoked field excitatory post-synaptic potential (fEPSP) slope in CA1 region of the hippocampus
• mice exhibit decreased evoked field excitatory post-synaptic potential (fEPSP) slope in CA1 region of the hippocampus, indicating impaired long-term potentiation

respiratory system
• 6-8 week old mice have increased breathing rate at baseline and when exposed to a hypoxic gas challenge
