craniofacial
• at E14.0, mutant skulls show absence of the processus alaris
• at E14.0, the pterygoid process is severely malformed
• at E14.0, the alveolar ridges, which normally surround molars and incisors, are missing in both jaws
• at E13.5, the dental epithelia have invaginated to form epithelial buds, but the condensation of mesenchymal cells around the bud is less prominent, despite normal tooth development up to E12.5
• at E14.5, tooth development has reached the cap stage in wild-type embryos but never proceeds beyond the bud stage in mutant embryos
• newborn homozygotes exhibit absence of all teeth in both jaws
• at E13.5, the mandibular arch facing the palatal shelves is abnormally shaped
• at E14.0, the coronoid process, a dorsal extension of the mandible, is absent

• in the forelimb, an extra-formed digit is not separated from the thumb
• external limb malformations are first noted at ~E13.5, as a thickening of the anterior-proximal limb mesenchyme
