N normal phenotype
hematopoietic system
anemia ( J:5009 , J:13416 )
• due to loss of blood through their gastrointestinal tracts (J:13416)
• blood sampled from the tail vein has a greatly decreased RBC count and greatly increased MCV (J:13416)

integument
abnormal coat/hair pigmentation ( J:13416 )
• slightly anemic
absent coat pigmentation ( J:13416 )
• mice are strikingly white with (normal) black eyes

pigmentation
abnormal coat/hair pigmentation ( J:13416 )
• slightly anemic
absent coat pigmentation ( J:13416 )
• mice are strikingly white with (normal) black eyes

reproductive system
reduced female fertility ( J:13137 , J:13416 )
• notall females are fertile and no fertile female has had more than one litter (J:13137)
(J:13416)

cardiovascular system
gastrointestinal hemorrhage ( J:5009 )
• mice lose approximately 3.5 per cent of their blood volume into their gastrointestinal tract daily
• study shows iron is lost but red blood cell loss was not demonstrated

digestive/alimentary system
gastrointestinal hemorrhage ( J:5009 )
• mice lose approximately 3.5 per cent of their blood volume into their gastrointestinal tract daily
• study shows iron is lost but red blood cell loss was not demonstrated

mortality/aging
premature death ( J:5009 , J:13416 )
• occasionally a mouse has survived up to a year (J:13416)
