cellular
• increase in numbers of germ cells in the ovaries due to reduced apoptosis
• increase in the number of oocytes due to reduced apoptosis in the female germline
• oocytes exhibit almost complete resistance to apoptosis induced by the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin
• reduction in apoptosis of female germ cells and oocytes exhibit almost complete resistance to apoptosis induced by the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin
• programmed cell death of facial motor neurons is accelerated during development
• B lymphoblasts are more resistant to apoptosis induced by granzyme B and perforin than wild-type cells
• slight increase in apoptosis of sympathetic neurons from the superior cervical ganglia following deprivation of nerve growth factor
• B lymphoblasts are more resistant to apoptosis induced by granzyme B and perforin than wild-type cells
• programmed cell death of facial motor neurons is accelerated during development
• slight increase in apoptosis of sympathetic neurons from the superior cervical ganglia following deprivation of nerve growth factor

reproductive system
• increase in numbers of germ cells in the ovaries due to reduced apoptosis
• increase in the number of oocytes due to reduced apoptosis in the female germline
• oocytes exhibit almost complete resistance to apoptosis induced by the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin
• increase in the number of primordial follicles in the postnatal ovary

nervous system
• programmed cell death of facial motor neurons is accelerated during development
• slight increase in apoptosis of sympathetic neurons from the superior cervical ganglia following deprivation of nerve growth factor
• slight increase in apoptosis of sympathetic neurons from the superior cervical ganglia following deprivation of nerve growth factor
• number of motor neurons in the facial nuclei of late embryonic and newborn mutants is only 73% of that in wild-type, however, normal numbers are seen at E16.5 and at P7-P9, suggesting that programmed cell death of facial motor neurons is accelerated during development but eventually similar numbers of neurons die

endocrine/exocrine glands
• increase in the number of primordial follicles in the postnatal ovary

immune system
• B lymphoblasts are more resistant to apoptosis induced by granzyme B and perforin than wild-type cells

hematopoietic system
• B lymphoblasts are more resistant to apoptosis induced by granzyme B and perforin than wild-type cells
