N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• some newborns with severe spina bifida die shortly after birth
• fewer than 50% of offspring from heterozygous intercrosses are heterozygotes

limbs/digits/tail
• a short, curled tail is the most common phenotype seen for this mutation with incomplete penetrance

embryo
• observed to varying degrees of severity in some, but not all, affected mice and some with mild spina bifida have lived to adulthood and reproduced

nervous system
• observed to varying degrees of severity in some, but not all, affected mice and some with mild spina bifida have lived to adulthood and reproduced

reproductive system
• some heterozygotes have closed vaginas

behavior/neurological
N
• no abnormal head movement

hearing/vestibular/ear
N
• auditory brainstem response is normal in 2 female and 2 male heterozygotes
