N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• homozygous mice die between 6-8 weeks after birth from the heart malfunction with a gender difference (males more severely affected then females)

cardiovascular system
• thinner posterior wall of the left ventricle
• seen 6-7 weeks after birth
• cardiomyocytes have fuzzy z-lines and shortened sarcomeres that appear locked in the contracted state
• severe excitation-contraction coupling defect causing a hypercontraction phenotype at the single cell level

muscle
• seen 6-7 weeks after birth

vision/eye
• at E12.5, 13.5, and 18.0, cell death is significantly elevated; increased apoptosis is observed primarily in central retina at E12.5 and 13.5 while periphery is affected at E18.0
• thin optic nerve
• newborn mice have small eyes
• total weight of eyes is 50% of wild-type
• size of retina is decreased compared to wild-type
• retina is detached from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), while abutting the lens
• eyes analyzed at P7 following BrdU injection at E16 show reduced cell numbers in outer nuclear layer (ONL), inner nuclear layer (INL), and ganglion cell layer (GCL)
• by P7, cell number is significantly reduced
• 2-fold decrease in BrdU-labeled cells is observed at P7 (BrdU injection at E16)
• by P7, cell number is significantly reduced
• inner limiting membrane (ILM) structure is perturbed; retina has dysmorphic fibrous layer instead of well-organized ILM
• ganglion cell layer (GCL) exhibits decreased cellularity in postnatal mice
• by P7, few ganglion cells are detected in retina
• by P14, rosettes are observed in retina
• ciliary body is fused to retina, so that it could not be separated from neural retina
• almost complete retinal degeneration has occurred by P30; entire eye is absent in mutants

nervous system
• by P7, cell number is significantly reduced
• 2-fold decrease in BrdU-labeled cells is observed at P7 (BrdU injection at E16)
• by P7, few ganglion cells are detected in retina
• by P7, cell number is significantly reduced
• thin optic nerve

cellular
• at E12.5, 13.5, and 18.0, cell death is significantly elevated; increased apoptosis is observed primarily in central retina at E12.5 and 13.5 while periphery is affected at E18.0
