mortality/aging
• animals die between 2-3 months of age

growth/size/body
• mutants weigh 10%-50% less than wild-type

hematopoietic system
• impaired pre-T cell development
• impaired granulocyte differentiation
• accumulation of immature monocytes in the blood and bone marrow
• near complete absence of granulocytes in blood and bone marrow
• homozygotes are severely neutropenic
• decrease in frequency of B cells in lymph nodes and spleen
• decrease in frequency of mature T cells in lymph nodes and spleen
• thymic cell numbers are 10% that of wild-type

immune system
• impaired pre-T cell development
• impaired granulocyte differentiation
• accumulation of immature monocytes in the blood and bone marrow
• near complete absence of granulocytes in blood and bone marrow
• homozygotes are severely neutropenic
• decrease in frequency of B cells in lymph nodes and spleen
• decrease in frequency of mature T cells in lymph nodes and spleen
• thymic cell numbers are 10% that of wild-type
• increased IL-1beta production in response to low dose LPS challenge
• increased IL-10 production in response to low dose LPS challenge
• increased Tnf production in response to low dose LPS challenge
• increased inflammatory response when challenged with a low dose of LPS, animals died from endotoxic shock within 28 hours

hearing/vestibular/ear
• at E18.5, IHCs are clearly identified both at the base and the apex of the cochlea, but appear smaller and more immature relative to wild-type IHCs
• at E18.5, apical extensions, presumably primordia of stereociliary bundles, appear shorter and less organized
• at E18.5, IHC stereociliary bundles appear shorter
• at E18.5, OHC morphology and patterning is markedly abnormal
• at E18.5, no intact OHC stereociliary bundles can be identified with phalloidin staining
• at E18.5 or P0, the luminal surface of OHCs throughout the length of the cochlea is composed of a sheath of poorly differentiated and disorganized apical projections and poorly defined cell boundaries
• at E18.5, homozygotes exhibit OHC degeneration in the base and apex of the cochlea; less severe OHC degeneration is noted at E16.5
• in contrast, IHCs are readily identified along the entire length of the cochlea and the pillar cell row is undisrupted in the basal region
• homozygotes are deaf
• homozygotes exhibit vestibular dysfunction due to hair cell loss

nervous system
• at E18.5, IHCs are clearly identified both at the base and the apex of the cochlea, but appear smaller and more immature relative to wild-type IHCs
• at E18.5, apical extensions, presumably primordia of stereociliary bundles, appear shorter and less organized

cellular
• impaired granulocyte differentiation

endocrine/exocrine glands
• thymic cell numbers are 10% that of wild-type
