phenotypes

All mutations/alleles(100) : Gene trapped(97) Targeted(3)
Incidental mutations (data from Mutagenetix , APF )
 

Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele exhibit preweaning phenotype. Mice homozygous for a different knock-in allele exhibit partial prenatal lethality, decreased body size, postnatal growth retardation, hypoactivity, increased anxiety, tremors, decreased heart rate and decreased dopamine levels.
