Gene Expression + Phenotype

Homozygous mutant mice do not live through the first day of life due to an inability to suckle, which is secondary to cleft palate and tongue abnormalities. Mice homozygous for an ENU mutation exhibit postnatal lethality without palate defect and abnormal anterior segment dysgenesis.
