phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• males exhibit decreased anxiety-related behaviors in an elevated plus maze due to moderate heparan-sulfate undersulfation

hematopoietic system
• the relative number of circulating lymphocytes is reduced 35% compared to in wild-type mice
• the relative number of CD8+ T cells in the spleen is reduced compared to in wild-type mice

homeostasis/metabolism

immune system
• the relative number of circulating lymphocytes is reduced 35% compared to in wild-type mice
• the relative number of CD8+ T cells in the spleen is reduced compared to in wild-type mice

nervous system
N
• despite expression in the brain and involvement in disaccharide sulfation, no cellular changes are observed in the brain
