mortality/aging

embryonic lethality, complete penetrance ( J:40594 )

• lethality generally occurs prior to E8.5

embryo

abnormal embryo development ( J:40594 )

• at e5.5, mutant embryos appear similar to controls

• at e6.5, some mutant embryos appear similar to controls, while others exhibit short egg cylinders with expanded proamniotic cavities

decreased embryo size ( J:40594 )

• at E7.5, embryos are three layered egg cylinders, but show a reduced size of the embryonic region

• at E8.5, the embryos are smaller and lack somites, but development appears normal

• at E9.5, embryos exhibit a reduced size of the embryo region

abnormal extraembryonic tissue morphology ( J:40594 )

• at e7.5, embryos are surrounded by large giant cells and have a prominent ectoplacental cone and extraembryonic membrane

enlarged allantois ( J:40594 )

• at E9.5

abnormal amnion morphology ( J:40594 )

• at E8.5, the amnion development is not complete

abnormal proamniotic cavity morphology ( J:40594 )

• at e6.5, some mutant embryos appear similar to controls, while others exhibit short egg cylinders with expanded proamniotic cavities

• at E7.5, the amniotic folds are not fused and the proamniotic cavity remains open to the ectoplacental cavity

abnormal visceral yolk sac morphology ( J:40594 )

• expanded yolk sac at E9.5

growth/size/body

decreased embryo size ( J:40594 )

• at E7.5, embryos are three layered egg cylinders, but show a reduced size of the embryonic region

• at E8.5, the embryos are smaller and lack somites, but development appears normal

• at E9.5, embryos exhibit a reduced size of the embryo region

neoplasm

increased mammary adenocarcinoma incidence ( J:70564 )

• mammary tumors occur after long latency of at least 13 months of age
