skeleton
• 29% of heterozygotes had a prominent spinous process, characteristic for the second thoracic vertebra (T2), incorrectly associated with T1, suggesting a T1 to T2 transformation
• 6% of heterozygotes had only 12 ribs, indicating T13 to L1 transformation
• 27% of heterozygotes had the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) with incomplete ectopic ribs, either unilaterally or bilaterally fused with the first thoracic rib, indicating transformations of C7 toward the first thoracic vertebra (T1)

• mice exhibit higher mean corpuscular volume at 6 to 12 months of age, indicating macrocytic anemia
• platelet counts increase at 6 months until 12 months of age with a significant difference at 10 months

• macrocytosis is apparent at 20 weeks post-pIPC injection
• increase in long term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) in bone marrow 64 weeks post-piPC treatment, however, repopulating ability is decreased
• no differences in short-term hematopoietic stem cells, multi potent progenitors, common myeloid progenitors, megakaryocytic/erythroid progenitors or colony forming units at 64 weeks post-pIPC
• increase in multi-potent progenitors (MPP) in bone marrow at 12 weeks, but not 45 weeks post-piPC treatment

homeostasis/metabolism
• plasma erythropoietin levels are increased and persist for longer than 60 weeks post-pIPC as compared to wild-type

immune system
• transplantation of bone marrow from mutants into lethally irradiated CD45.1 recipient mice that were treated with pIPC results in lower peripheral blood chimerism
• chimerism is lower in LT-HSC to committed myeloid progenitors
