N normal phenotype
craniofacial
• approximately 80% of mice develop malocclusion due to misaligned incisors
• however, tooth number and other facial features are normal
• temporomandibular joint condyles have reduced subchondral bone volume/tissue volume

endocrine/exocrine glands
N
• pancreatic cysts and ascites are uncommon
• livers appear to form major branches of the biliary system with diminished density of secondary branches
• newborn livers have an increased number of biliary cells but are macroscopically normal
• mice commonly exhibit bile duct dilatation

growth/size/body
• approximately 80% of mice develop malocclusion due to misaligned incisors
• however, tooth number and other facial features are normal
• macroscopic liver cysts are present by 4 weeks of age and liver disease worsens with age
• females have slightly larger kidneys

immune system
• mice commonly exhibit hypersplenism

liver/biliary system
• livers appear to form major branches of the biliary system with diminished density of secondary branches
• newborn livers have an increased number of biliary cells but are macroscopically normal
• mice commonly exhibit bile duct dilatation
• macroscopic liver cysts are present by 4 weeks of age and liver disease worsens with age

renal/urinary system
N
• mice exhibit normal kidney tubules and glomeruli, with no evidence of dilatation or cyst formation in collecting ducts at various ages from birth to 15 months, with normal tubular diameter and cell number in tubular cross sections
• females have slightly larger kidneys

reproductive system
• small litter sizes are seen when using male homozygotes for breeding
• homozygous sperm fertilize eggs at a lower in vitro fertilization rate than controls

skeleton
• approximately 80% of mice develop malocclusion due to misaligned incisors
• however, tooth number and other facial features are normal
• temporomandibular joint condyles have reduced subchondral bone volume/tissue volume

vision/eye
• all mice develop corneal opacities in one or both eyes detectable within the first 3-4 weeks of life and progressively worsens with age, invariably bilateral and sometimes results in corneal ulceration
• seen sometimes
• corneal opacities are often accompanied by changes in eye globe size
