mortality/aging
prenatal lethality, incomplete penetrance ( J:338393 )
• crosses between heterozygous females and males produces smaller litter sizes (5.8 pups vs. 7.4 pups in wild-type mice), with fewer than the expected number of homozygotes indicating loss of homozygotes during the preimplantation or fetal stage

growth/size/body
decreased body size ( J:338393 )
• both males and females are smaller

reproductive system
teratozoospermia ( J:338393 )
• about 50% of sperm show some type of abnormality, including head, neck and midpiece, and tail defects
asthenozoospermia ( J:338393 )
• sperm show lower total and progressive motility, with reduced kinetic parameters straight-line velocity (VSL), average path velocity (VAP), linearity, and straightness, indicating a reduction in linearity and straightness of spermatozoa
male infertility ( J:338393 )
• homozygous males mated with wild-type females do not produce offspring
• however, no differences in apoptotic cell rates are seen in the testis and sperm concentrations, testis weight, and sperm viability are normal
• fertilization rates and cleavage rates of sperm in response to intracytoplasmic sperm injection are similar to wild-type

cellular
teratozoospermia ( J:338393 )
• about 50% of sperm show some type of abnormality, including head, neck and midpiece, and tail defects
asthenozoospermia ( J:338393 )
• sperm show lower total and progressive motility, with reduced kinetic parameters straight-line velocity (VSL), average path velocity (VAP), linearity, and straightness, indicating a reduction in linearity and straightness of spermatozoa
