phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• pups surviving to E18.5, die at birth
• most die between E11.5 and E13.5, although some survive to term

behavior/neurological
• pups and E16.5 embryos do not respond to tactile stimulatio
• pups do not move and spontaneous movement is reduced in E16.5 embryos

growth/size/body
• newborns show an average of 10% weight reduction

respiratory system
• pups do not breathe and lung alveoli do not expand

nervous system
• increase in apoptosis in the dorsal root ganglia at E13.5
• absence of glial cells in the enteric nervous system
• absence of Schwann cell precursors accompanying peripheral nerves
• sensory neuron degeneration
• motor neurons start to form but subsequently degenerate
• cranial ganglia are abnormal by E10 when they form
• cranial nerves are abnormal by E10 when they form
• dorsal root ganglia form but subsequently degenerate
• neuron numbers in the dorsal root ganglia are normal at E12.5, but are reduced by 70 and 82% at E14.5 and E18.5, respectively

homeostasis/metabolism

cellular
• increase in apoptosis in the dorsal root ganglia at E13.5

nervous system
• absent in the medulla at E13, E14, and E17.5
• neurofilament positive fibers throughout the residual sympathetic nervous system appear more coarse and have an increase in diameter
• severe defect in the more posterior portion of the sympathetic ganglion chain
• presence of satellite cells in the superior cervical ganglion
• hypoplasia of the superior cervical ganglion at E17.5
• only remnants of the celiac and mesenteric ganglia are present

endocrine/exocrine glands
• columnar organization of the adrenal gland epithelia appears disorganized at E17.5
• absent in the medulla at E13, E14, and E17.5

homeostasis/metabolism
• 15-fold reduction in noradrenaline levels at E12.5

embryo
• neural crest cells are scarce at positions ventral of the neural tube and lateral of the dorsal aorta and accumulate at dorsal positions
• drastic reduction in the numbers of neural crest cells that migrate from the posterior portion of the primary ganglion chain to the mesentery or the anlage of the adrenal gland
