Early generation mice homozygous for a null allele have intact telomeres and appear grossly unaffected and healthy, whereas late generation mutants exhibit premature death, shortened and dysfunctional telomeres, apoptotic and proliferative defects, infertility, and multi-organ degenerative decline.
