• the one surviving mouse was runted

homeostasis/metabolism

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype ( J:33276 )

N	• the one recovered mouse had normal copper levels in the intestine and liver

♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

mortality/aging

postnatal lethality ( J:33276 )

• mice die around 2 weeks after birth

• mice cannot be rescued by perinatal copper injection therapy as can hemizygous Atp7a^Mo-brJ mice

homeostasis/metabolism

increased intestine copper level ( J:33276 )

• copper accumulates in the intestine

• however, kidney and brain copper levels are normal
