mortality/aging
|
• while most mice die within the first 24 hours, a few mice survive to adulthood
|
|
• rare surviving mice are euthanized by 12 months due to wasting
|
|
• female mice exhibit late-stage abortion necessitating euthanasia
|
|
• most mice die within the first 24 hours
• however, a few mice survive to adulthood
|
reproductive system
skeleton
|
• mice exhibit linear calcifications perpendicular to the axis of rib and periodic nodular thickenings compared with wild-type mice
|
|
• of the third and fourth sternebrae at E18.5
|
|
• ribs exhibit defective cartilage structure with abnormal chondrocytes compared to in wild-type mice
|
|
• inverted at 2 to 4 months that worsens with age
|
|
• ribs exhibit defective cartilage structure with abnormal chondrocytes compared to in wild-type mice
• chondrocytes exhibit eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions unlike in wild-type cells
|
|
• chondrocytes exhibit intracellular retention of extracellular matrix components unlike wild-type mice
|
respiratory system
|
• rare surviving mice exhibit decreased lung volume compared with wild-type mice
|
|
• in adults do to reduced lung volume
• however, breathing at birth is normal
|
growth/size/body
|
• in surviving mice
|
cellular
|
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit constitutive unfolded protein response compared with wild-type mice
|
behavior/neurological
