Mice homozygous for a null mutation die in a state of anorexia at around age P26, displaying severe atrophy of the intestinal mucosa, and massive destruction of the thymus and spleen with loss of T and B cells. Near the terminal stage, affected mice have seizures, display retinal atrophy, and become blind.
