phenotypes

All mutations/alleles(7) : Chemically induced (ENU)(1) Spontaneous(4) Targeted(2)
Incidental mutations (data from Mutagenetix , APF )
 

Homozygotes for targeted and spontaneous mutations exhibit progressive growth retardation, ataxia, muscle atrophy and degeneration, infertility, and premature lethality. Muscle fiber degeneration is evident as early as the first week of life.
