mortality/aging
• mice exhibit high mortality rates, starting after P14 and complete lethality by P42
• mice exhibit high mortality rates, starting after P14 and complete lethality by P42

growth/size/body
• mice exhibit growth impairment, showing normal body weight at P0 but reduced weight at P7 and P14, regardless of hydrocephaly

behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit behavioral problems, including showing shaking

nervous system
• almost 30% of mice show hydrocephalus
• however, thickness of the brain cortex and the migration and number of neurons are not affected in the brains of mice lacking profound hydrocephaly

renal/urinary system
N
• no structural abnormalities are seen in the kidneys
