nervous system
• distorted neural tube observed at E9.5
|
embryo
• growth is arrested prior to the 8-somite stage
(J:36234)
• at E9.5, mice exhibit developmental arrest with no or few somites (up to 7), no embryo turning and open neural tubes
(J:129049)
|
• distorted neural tube observed at E9.5
|
• lack visible somites at E9.5; a few advanced embryos develop 8 pairs of somites
|
cellular
• at E9.5, the number of proliferating cells reduced to 42% to 45%
|
• DNA of endogenous C-type retroviruses and pericentromeric minor satellite repeats is highly demethylated with methylation level lower than in wild-type or Dnmt1tm1Jae mice
