Mutations,
alleles, and
phenotypes

All mutations/alleles(16) : Chemically induced (ENU)(1) Gene trapped(6) Spontaneous(1) Targeted(8)
Incidental mutations (data from Mutagenetix , APF )
 

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.
