mortality/aging
• homozygotes die between E12.5 and term
|
cardiovascular system
• at E15.5, 2 out of 6 homozygotes display extremely thin ventricular walls along with a swollen heart and a rounded apex, while 3 out of 6 mutants show thin ventricular walls in the absence of swelling; the remaining one homozygote displays a morphologically normal heart
|
• at E15.5, homozygotes display a thin ventricular myocardium relative to wild-type mice
|
small heart
(
J:42943
)
• at E10.5-E13.5, mutant hearts appear to be smaller than wild-type hearts
|
• at E15.5, 5 out of 6 homozygotes exhibit thin ventricular walls, in the absence of ventricular septal defects
• no significant differences in ventricular wall thickness are observed at E11.5 and E13.5
|
• at E15.5, mutant hearts display insufficient cardiomyocyte proliferation, in the absence of abnormal cell differentiation or cell death
|
embryo
• at E10.5-E13.5, homozygous embryos appear to be shorter than wild-type embryos
|
growth/size/body
• at E10.5-E13.5, homozygous embryos appear to be shorter than wild-type embryos
|
nervous system
• at E11.5 and E12.5, homozygotes exhibit a significantly increased apoptosis of motoneurons in the ventral horn of lower medulla and the upper cervical spinal cord
|
muscle
• at E15.5, homozygotes display a thin ventricular myocardium relative to wild-type mice

hematopoietic system
N |
