• N: normal phenotype

mortality/aging

preweaning lethality, incomplete penetrance ( J:252710 )

• fewer than expected mice are found at birth

• in one litter all 4 heterozygotes survived the perinatal period but were morbid at P19

nervous system

increased neuron apoptosis ( J:252710 )

• increased cell death in the cortex, hippocampus, midbrain, cerebellum and hindbrain at P0-P3

abnormal neuron proliferation ( J:252710 )

• neurospheres produce fewer cells in culture

increased neuronal precursor proliferation ( J:252710 )

• slight but significant increase in proliferation in the neurogenic ventricular zone

decreased brain weight ( J:252710 )

abnormal cerebral cortex morphology ( J:252710 )
