craniofacial
• at E18.5, palatal processes of the maxilla are reduced or vestigal in morphology
|
• at E18.5, palatal processes of palatine bones are absent
|
• at E14.5, the posterior palate has not acquired shape changes necessary for medially-directed outgrowth
|
• incidence is 27%
|
• rugae morphology is disorganized and fragmented in cleft palate, whereas wild-type palates exhibit orderly array of 7-9 rugae
|
• at E14.5, region of soft palate has not acquired shape changes necessary for medially-directed outgrowth
|
• homozygotes show high incidence (83%) of cleft secondary palate
|
• at E14.5, palatal shelves have not elevated in the anterior half compared to wild-type palate
• by E15.5, palate has not elevated dorsal to tongue, compared to wild-type

skeleton
