Ttc9a KO mice show greater body, spleen and thymus mass than wild-type mice. (A) Both male and female Ttc9a-/- mice at postnatal day 2 showed greater body weight than Ttc9a+/+ mice. (B) Body weights of male mice from 4-12 week old were similar across Ttc9a+/+, Ttc9a+/- and Ttc9a-/- mice. (C) The body weights of Ttc9a-/- female mice was significantly higher than Ttc9a+/+ mice at 6- and 10-week of age. (D) The spleen and (E) thymus mass in the Ttc9a-/-mice were significantly greater compared to Ttc9a+/+ mice. Animal and organ weight data are expressed as means ± SEM; *p value < 0.05; **p value < 0.01. Supplement data indicates the number of animals used in each analysis.
