mortality/aging
• embryo absorption is seen between E10 and E12
|
embryo
• embryos lack vascular morphogenesis at E9.5 in the yolk sac
|
• mutants exhibit a variable deficit in posterior development
|
• arrest at the 19 - 23 somite stage
|
• E9.5 embryos form 19-23 somites compared to 22-16 somites in controls
|
• 14 of 22 embryos show neural tube kinks anterior to the forelimb
|
• incomplete somite differentiation: metameric repeated pattern of anterior somites is poorly maintained
|
growth/size/body
• E9.5 embryos form 19-23 somites compared to 22-16 somites in controls
|
cardiovascular system
• embryos lack vascular morphogenesis at E9.5 in the yolk sac
|
• at E10.5
|
nervous system
• 14 of 22 embryos show neural tube kinks anterior to the forelimb
