N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• DMBA exposure induces death by 3 days post exposure unlike wild-type littermates
• Background Sensitivity: mutants live about 6 months on a mixed 129P2/OlaHsd/C57BL/6 background, however life spans are shorter on a mixed 129P2/OlaHsd/FVB background
• many embryos die by E13.5
• Background Sensitivity: embryonic lethality is not seen on a mixed 129P2/OlaHsd and FVB background

adipose tissue
• subcutaneous fat is absent

cellular
• primary MEFs proliferate more slowly and stop growing sooner compared to wild-type MEFs

growth/size/body
• homozygotes are severely runted
• on a mixed 129P2/OlasHsd/C57BL/6 background males are more severely runted than females, this difference is not seen on a mixed 129P2/OlaHsd/FVB background

hematopoietic system
• increased and early ferritin deposition is seen without evidence of haemochromatosis

homeostasis/metabolism
• DMBA exposure induces death by 3 days post exposure unlike wild-type littermates
• DMBA exposure induces massive epidermal necrosis with minimal leukocyte infiltration unlike wild-type littermates

immune system
• increased and early ferritin deposition is seen without evidence of haemochromatosis

liver/biliary system
• nuclear abnormalities are seen in the liver

renal/urinary system
• dilated tubules containing leaked proteinaceous material are seen

reproductive system
• homozygotes that reach the age of 6 months are infertile

integument
• subcutaneous fat is absent
