N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• no mice survive beyond 14 days of age
• 40% of mice die shortly after birth and none survive beyond 14 days of age

behavior/neurological
• pups lack a milk spot in their stomach, indicative of failure to feed

growth/size/body
• surviving mice show postnatal growth defects, with reduced body weight at P5

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice that die at birth are clearly hypoxic and fail to inflate their lungs

muscle
• tongue and hind-limb muscles show severely impaired muscle fiber formation and fewer nuclei per myofiber in mice that die at birth suggesting a hypomorphic fusion phenotype
• tongue and hind-limb muscles show severely impaired muscle fiber formation
• hindlimb muscles show sparse and highly fragmented sarcomeres
• hindlimb muscles show evidence of myofiber degeneration
• hindlimb muscles show a reduction in muscle size across muscle groups

respiratory system
• mice that die at birth are clearly hypoxic and fail to inflate their lungs

cellular
• tongue and hind-limb muscles show severely impaired muscle fiber formation and fewer nuclei per myofiber in mice that die at birth suggesting a hypomorphic fusion phenotype
