mortality/aging
• the proportion of viable homozygous mutant mice declines from E12.5 to E17.5, with none born alive
|
cardiovascular system
• homozygotes surviving beyond E13.5 display an extremely thin ventricular wall
|
hemorrhage
(
J:61790
)
• after E13.5, some homozygotes exhibit hemorrhage
|
• at E10.5-E11.5, ~40% of homozygotes contain blood in the pericardial cavity
|
embryo
• after E13.5, homozygotes are smaller than wild-type embryos
|
• after E13.5, homozygotes display a hypoplastic labyrinth region
|
• after E13.5, mutant placentas are pale and smaller than wild-type placentas
|
vision/eye
• homozygotes surviving beyond E16.5 have open eyes
|
• homozygotes surviving beyond E16.5 have no eyelids
|
growth/size/body
• after E13.5, homozygotes are smaller than wild-type embryos
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at E10.5-E11.5, ~40% of homozygotes contain blood in the pericardial cavity
|
integument
• after E13.5, homozygotes display underdeveloped hair follicles
|
• after E13.5, the mutant stratum granulosum is thinner whereas the basal layer remains unchanged
