digestive/alimentary system
• most homozygous villous goblet cells stained less robustly with mucicarmine, suggesting they are producing lower amounts of mucin
• the number of villous goblet cells was decreased 32% relative to wild-type villi
• not observed in mice homozygous for any pair-wise combination of these three genes
• reduced levels of trefoil production, a peptide family critical for mucosal defense and ulcer healing
• the weight/length ratio of the small intestine was reduced 37% in triple null pups; functional maturation at weaning age was not affected
• fewer crypt cells were proliferating in homozygous ileum compared to wild-type
• spontaneous lesions affecting mucosal integrity observed in 50% of samples; lesions varied from mild erosions to occasional perforations; not observed in mice homozygous for any pair-wise combination of these three genes
• more susceptible to induced duodenal lesions; cysteamine treatment produced more severe lesions than in wild-type mice
• stunted villi with jagged or sheared tips; the average villus height in mutant ileum was reduced 47% relative to wild-type at three weeks, but only 11% at 5 weeks
• the muscularis mucosa layer was reduced in thickness at three weeks of age

endocrine/exocrine glands
• fewer crypt cells were proliferating in homozygous ileum compared to wild-type
• ducts in virgin pubescent glands hardly extended beyond the rudimentary anlage and only a few terminal end buds were observed at 6 weeks
• at 12 weeks, ductal trees were underdeveloped and had persistent terminal end buds
• during pregnancy, mammary glands exhibited defects in lobuloalveolar development; alveoli appear small and dense instead of engorged with fat droplets at day 18 of pregnancy
• on day 2 of lactation, alveoli are compressed and overcrowded, and exhibit increased epithelial density with irregular, compact alveolar morphology observed
• mutant mammary glands could not sustain lactation and expression of milk protein genes was decreased
• pups did not thrive due to decreased milk production of dams
• lactation improved with aged mothers

growth/size/body
• a 40% reduction in the body weight of pups by 3 weeks was observed; partially attenuated by cross-fostering to wild-type dams
• by 7 weeks, weights were 15% reduced relative to wild-type, suggesting that a maternal lactation defect was partially responsible for the weight loss and this is overcome on a chow diet
• accelerated with aging
• postnatal growth retardation of triple null pups was observed independent of maternal genotype
• more severe growth defects were seen when the mother was also triple null, and less severe growth defects were seen when the mother was wild-type
• control pups born to triple null mothers also exhibited growth retardation probably due to decreased milk production

reproductive system
• during pregnancy, mammary glands exhibited defects in lobuloalveolar development; alveoli appear small and dense instead of engorged with fat droplets at day 18 of pregnancy
• on day 2 of lactation, alveoli are compressed and overcrowded, and exhibit increased epithelial density with irregular, compact alveolar morphology observed

vision/eye
• incidence noted as more frequent (80-90%) than the single Tgfatm1Unc homozygous mutants (40-50%)
• incidence noted as more frequent (80-90%) than the single Tgfatm1Unc homozygous mutants (40-50%)
• incidence noted as more frequent (80-90%) than the single Tgfatm1Unc homozygous mutants (40-50%)
