mortality/aging
|
• only 10% survive until 6 weeks of age
|
|
• 50% die within a few hours of birth
|
|
• 90% are dead within 4 weeks
|
cellular
|
• in vitro assays show fibroblast proliferative response is twofold less than normal
|
|
• in vitro assays show splenocyte proliferative response is twofold less than normal
|
growth/size/body
|
• a few days after birth pups weigh one fourth of littermate control weight
|
hematopoietic system
|
• in vitro assays show splenocyte proliferative response is twofold less than normal
|
|
• failure of T cell maturation; pro-T cell numbers are as expected but normal numbers of mature T cells are not found
|
immune system
|
• in vitro assays show splenocyte proliferative response is twofold less than normal
|
|
• failure of T cell maturation; pro-T cell numbers are as expected but normal numbers of mature T cells are not found
|
reproductive system
|
• male to female sex-reversal
|
skeleton
|
• retinoic acid exacerbates skeletal malformations compared to wild-type implicating this allele in regulation of retinoic acid during development
|
|
• incomplete scapular formation on one or both sides results in split ossification center
|
|
• presence of five rather than six sternebrae
|
|
• mice have six rather than seven vertebrosternal ribs
|
|
• fusion of ossification centers produces exoccipital/atlas malformations
|
|
• the basioccipital bone fuses to the first cervical vertebra
|
|
• homeotic transformations are seen over the entire axis
|
craniofacial
|
• the basioccipital bone fuses to the first cervical vertebra
