Comparison of phenotypic parameters between mice with different genotypes at the lbab locus

Parameter	+/+ (n = 10)	lbab/+ (n = 10)	lbab/lbab (n = 12)	lbab/lbab as % of +/+
Body weight (g)	3.45 ± 0.4221	3.61 ± 0.351	1.54 ± 0.255*	44.1%
Body length (mm)	55.9 ± 0.36	56.7 ± 0.34	34.0 ± 0.35*	61.6%

¹ Values were mean ± SD. Mice of different gender were pooled as they were too young to show detectable differences; +/+ mice included 5 females and 5 males, 10 lbab/+ mice included 5 females and 5 males; 12 lbab/lbab mice included 6 females and 6 males. As shown, the body weight and body length from the lbab/lbab group were significantly smaller than in the +/+ and lbab/+ groups (* p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between +/+ and lbab/+ mice.
