Genotype
MGI:3818955

hm1

• Allelic Composition: Wc/Wc
• Genetic Background: Not Specified

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

mortality/aging

embryonic lethality, complete penetrance ( J:13664 )

• all homozygotes die before birth

embryo

abnormal ectoderm development ( J:13664 )

• subsequent to embryoblast differentiation into embryonic and extra-embryonic ectoderm, the embryonic ectoderm becomes pyknotic and degenerates, although the yolk sac, chorion, and allantois are normal
