| Genotype | Male fertility | Avg litter size (males) | Mean testis/body wt (×10−3) ± SD | Female fertility | Avg litter size (females) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +/+ | 28/28 | 6.2 | ND | 28/28 | 6.2 |
| +/– | 29/29 | 6.7 | 3.1 ± 0.37 (n = 3) | 19/19 | 5.8 |

To test fertility, sexually mature mice were bred for at least 3 months. Litter size was recorded for each mating. Testis weight and body weight were measured from mice older than 5 months of age. ND, not determined.
