mortality/aging
• some neonatal lethality due to respiratory difficulties related to a malformed rib cage
• less severely affected mice survive

embryo
• defects in somite formation after E8.5
• size and shape are irregular
• metameric pattern is not maintained

skeleton
• number of ribs attached to the sternum is reduced
• some ribs are detached from the vertebral column
• reduced number of ribs
• regular metameric pattern of vertebrae is disrupted
• reduced number of cervical vertebrae

nervous system

reproductive system
• some, but not all, females are infertile (J:48810)
• genetic background may contribute to whether or not mice are fertile (J:105928)

• surprisingly, at E18, double homozygotes display total suppression of the increase in number of hair cells in the IHC row observed in single Jag2tm1Grid homozygotes; this effect is specific for IHCs
• at E18, double homozygotes display disrupted patterning of the OHC rows, similar to single Jag2tm1Grid homozygotes
• at E18, double homozygotes display generation of supernumerary OHCs, similar to single Jag2tm1Grid homozygotes
