• histology revealed significantly more atrophic seminiferous tubules relative to single homozygotes and wild-type controls
• atrophic tubules are mostly devoid of spermatogenic cells and composed of Sertoli cells only

• unexpectedly, MEFs derived from double homozygotes are significantly more sensitive to mitomycin C than either single homozygote
