Mutant mice exhibit high perinatal mortality and only 50% are alive 3 days after birth. Early death may be due to intestinal dysfunction. Animals are on average 40% smaller than wild-type and heterozygous sex-matched littermates. Growth retardation, probably due to hypoplasia, appears from 17.5 dpc and remains permanent into adult life. Mutant animals exhibit other stricking features, including impaired development of the intestine, with small and misshapen villi and twisted colon crypts, abnormal kidney architecture and loss of cartilage in the lower extremities. Some animals show signs of neurological damage, including aggressive behavior, restlessness and circular movements. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15121863}. |
