mortality/aging
• homozygotes die at midgestation due to lack of vascular remodeling
|
embryo
• at E10.5, large vitelline vessels have not formed and capillary plexus is dilated and unremodeled
|
• at E10.5, embryos are growth-retarded
|
growth/size/body
• at E10.5, embryos are growth-retarded
|
cardiovascular system
• at E10.5, embryos lack mature vasculature formation in the head and between somites
• vessel structures are disorganized and do not form a remodeled capillary network
|
• at E10.5, large vitelline vessels have not formed and capillary plexus is dilated and unremodeled
|
• hearts are less tightly looped than wild-type at E10.5
|
• seen at E10.5
|
limbs/digits/tail
• tail formation and growth is blunted, observed at E10.5
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• seen at E10.5
