mortality/aging
• embryos die at varying timepoints between E12.5 and birth

renal/urinary system
• kidneys are comparable in size to controls, display numerous abnormal phenotypes
• multiple cysts are observed, with some cysts containing glomeruli, with other cysts originating in the renal tubules
• cysts arise along entire nephron
• collecting ducts are dilated, distorted and winding, with increased cell proliferation in walls of cysts
• pelvic area is dilated

neoplasm
• lethality is suggested to result from an aggressive embryonic tumor with minimal renal invasion

growth/size/body
• multiple cysts are observed, with some cysts containing glomeruli, with other cysts originating in the renal tubules
• cysts arise along entire nephron
