mortality/aging
• only 7% (instead of expected 25%) of double heterozygotes are recovered at 2 weeks of age
• however, normal numbers are obtained prior to birth (E18.5)

respiratory system
• at E18.5, airway development and differentiation of the distal epithelium are severely impaired, as shown by increased mesenchymal thickness, reduced sacculation, decreased surfactant production and increased glycogen content
• however, lung-to-body weight ratios and tidal volumes are not significantly altered
• at E18.5, lung sacculation is significantly reduced in the distal airways
• at E18.5, a 2-fold increase in mesenchymal thickness is observed
• at E18.5, lung epithelial differentiation is severely impaired, as shown by a more focal surfactant protein C (SP-C) protein expression pattern, reduced CC10 (Clara-cell-marker) protein expression, and a more tight, focal expression of aquaporin-5 and SP-C that is less evenly distributed throughout the distal airspaces
• distal airway cells are lined with large cuboidal cells that contain large glycogen-filled vacuoles but lack lamellar bodies
• lamellar bodies are either absent or only rarely observed
• at 3-5 months of age, a ~60% reduction in phospholipid content is noted in bronchioalveolar lavage fluid
