mortality/aging
N |
• despite a broad range of anatomic abnormalities detected at E14.5, mice exhibit normal prenatal and postnatal survival
|
cardiovascular system
N |
• adult mice show no signs of thrombosis or vascular disease; blood vessels of different organs (including lung, liver, and spleen) and sections of the heart and aortic valves show no evidence of blood clots, anatomical abnormalities, or vascular defects at the cellular level
|
• at E14.5, four of 7 embryos show abnormal morphology of the head arteries or the vertebral artery
|
• at E14.5, five of 7 embryos show abnormal liver vasculature
|
• abnormal connection of branches of right liver and portal vein at E14.5
|
• at E14.5, two of 7 embryos show dual inferior vena cava
|
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows telangiectasia
|
growth/size/body
• longitudinal weighting of a large mouse cohort under controlled conditions showed a trend for increased body weight at an age of 26 weeks for males and 38 weeks for females; in males, weight differences become significant at 62 and 66 weeks of age
|
liver/biliary system
• at E14.5, five of 7 embryos show abnormal liver vasculature
|
muscle
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows telangiectasia
|
• at E14.5, two of 7 embryos show anomalies affecting the infrahyoid muscles
|
skeleton
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows sternal malformation with abnormal morphology of sternal ridges
|
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows abnormal rib development
|
nervous system
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows a thin hypoglossal nerve unilaterally
|
reproductive system
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows abnormal testis tissue architecture
|
respiratory system
• at E14.5, two of 7 embryos show anomalies affecting the infrahyoid muscles
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at E14.5, two of 7 embryos with absent connection between the subcutaneous lymph vessels and lymph sacs show subcutaneous edema
|
hematopoietic system
N |
• adult mice show no evidence of aberrant hematopoiesis
|
immune system
N |
• adult mice show no evidence of immunological abnormalities; immunophenotyping of peripheral blood and bone marrow showed no quantitative alterations in leukocytes and leukocyte subsets
|
• at E14.5, two of 7 embryos show a missing connection between the subcutaneous lymph vessels and left lymph sac in conjunction with subcutaneous edema
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows abnormal testis tissue architecture
|
integument
