The transgenic mice thus generated are viable, demonstrating that there are c-fos dependent and independent pathways of cell proliferation, but display a range of tissue-specific developmental defects, including osteoporosis, delayed gametogenesis, lymphopenia and behavioral abnormalities.

Diagnosis of ATBF is mostly through clinical signs and symptoms, as many laboratory tests are not specific to ATBF .
