muscle
• hypertrophy is most likely a consequence of severe lung alterations, eventually leading to a cor pulmonale
• hypertrophy is most likely a consequence of severe lung alterations, eventually leading to a cor pulmonale

mortality/aging
• some die spontaneously during the early postnatal period

growth/size/body
• hypertrophy is most likely a consequence of severe lung alterations, eventually leading to a cor pulmonale
• hypertrophy is most likely a consequence of severe lung alterations, eventually leading to a cor pulmonale
• relative weight of the heart is increased
• relative weight of ovaries is increased
• absolute and relative carcass weight is reduced
• body weight at 9 weeks of age is reduced
• reduction in nose-rump length
• absolute and relative weight of lung is increased
• relative weight of the liver is increased
• absolute and relative weight of spleen is increased

cardiovascular system
• thickening of the atrioventricular valves, particularly the mitral valve
• thickening of the mitral valve
• hearts are round shaped
• hypertrophy is most likely a consequence of severe lung alterations, eventually leading to a cor pulmonale
• hypertrophy is most likely a consequence of severe lung alterations, eventually leading to a cor pulmonale
• relative weight of the heart is increased
• progressive development of alveolar hemorrhage, with small hemorrhagic foci first seen at 2-3 days of age

respiratory system
• progressive development of alveolar hemorrhage, with small hemorrhagic foci first seen at 2-3 days of age
• exhibit nodular pulmonary remodeling, consisting of multiple foci composed of fibroblasts, collagen fibers, large macrophages, and some proteinaceous deposits
• starting at 2-3 days of age, exhibit progressive development of pulmonary lesions, showing macrophages undergoing erythrophagocytosis and granulocytic inflammation
• absolute and relative weight of lung is increased
• distal airspaces are almost completely filled with macrophages and show accumulations of eosinophilic and neutrophilic granulocytes
• distal air spaces are severely enlarged with little septation
• commonly observe respiratory distress in adults, characterized by rapid and short breathing movements

vision/eye
• absolute and relative weight of eyes is increased
• mutants do not display macroscopically visible eye alterations, however histological examination shows comparable alterations to those seen in Line 2, mainly affecting the lens and retina

endocrine/exocrine glands
• pancreas weight is disproportionately decreased to body weight
• relative weight of ovaries is increased

hematopoietic system
• absolute and relative weight of spleen is increased

homeostasis/metabolism
• cyanosis sometimes accompanies respiratory distress

immune system
• absolute and relative weight of spleen is increased

liver/biliary system
• relative weight of the liver is increased

reproductive system
• relative weight of ovaries is increased
