Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Young KO mice are viable and grossly indistinguishable from WT littermates. Over 1 year of age KO mice show elevated mortality associated with aged appearance, disheveled fur, large bald areas, reduced body mass, and loss of vigor. Mice also show symptoms characteristic of immunohematopoietic senescence, including accelerated thymic involution, lymphopenia, impaired proliferative T cell responses, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and inflammation.
