Alleles and phenotypes

All alleles(16) : Targeted(8) Gene trapped(6) Spontaneous(1) Chemically induced(1)
 

Homozygotes for targeted null mutations have defects in apoptosis resulting in brain overgrowth, craniofacial defects, interdigit webbing and altered lens and retina. Most mutants die by embryonic day 16.5 or perinatally, and male survivors are sterile.
