mortality/aging
• mutants die between E9.5 and 11.5
|
embryo
• at E9.5 vasculature is poorly developed; vasculature has a primitive honeycomb-like network lacking branching vitelline vessels, while large vitelline vessels are absent
|
• at death, embryos exhibit widespread apoptosis
|
• embryos show developmental arrest
|
• marked defect in inner labyrinth layer is observed at E9.5
|
• fetal blood vessels underlying inner labyrinth layer are absent
|
• at E9.5, yolk sacs are pale and roughened
|
cellular
• at death, embryos exhibit widespread apoptosis
|
cardiovascular system
