mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos are observed in significant numbers at the 1-cell (31%) and 2-cell (19%) stages, but is below 5% at 4- and 8-cell stages, and is 0% at later stages
• when fertilized eggs from heterozygous crosses are cultured, by day 5, 94% of homozygous embryos reach the blastocyst stage compared to 86% for wild-type embryos. Homozygous embryos show a delay in reaching morula stage by day 3, but catch up on day 4 and start growing slightly faster than wild-type on days 5 and 6

growth/size/body
• after 13 weeks on a low fat diet, females show less weight gain (9%) than wild-type females (26%); male heterozygotes gain a comparable amount of weight as wild-type mice
• on a high fat diet, female heterozygotes gain 43% more weight on a high fat diet compared to a 9% weight gain on a low fat diet; both heterozygous and wild-type males show more weight gain (40%) than shown when on low fat diet (~23%)

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• no significant differences are seen between heterozygous and wild-type mice in fasting glycemia after 13 weeks of low fat or high fat diet, or in glycemic response to intraperitoneal glucose injection
• on a high fat diet, female heterozygotes gain 43% more weight on a high fat diet compared to a 9% weight gain on a low fat diet; both heterozygous and wild-type males show more weight gain (40%) than shown when on low fat diet (~23%)

reproductive system
• frequency of mutant allele among surviving embryos (after implantation to weaning age) is consistently >80%, instead of the expected 66.7%
