Mutations,
alleles, and
phenotypes

All mutations/alleles(6) : Gene trapped(2) Targeted(4)
Incidental mutations (data from Mutagenetix , APF )
 

Spermatogenesis is blocked in homozygous mutant mice, resulting in male infertility. Female mutant mice are fertile and do not exhibit any obvious reproductive defects.
