limbs/digits/tail
• variability in tail length, with the most severely impacted homozygote having only a short stub of a tail

reproductive system
• intercrosses of homozygotes with heterozygotes yielded an average litter size of only 4 and intercrosses of heterozygotes yielded an average litter size of approximately 5

mortality/aging
• intercrossing heterozygotes with homozygotes yielded only 22.7% mutants instead of the expected 50% and intercrossing heterozygotes yielded only 13.3% mutants instead of the expected 25%, which combined with the lower than normal litter size indicates some loss of homozygotes to prenatal lethality
