mortality/aging
• mice die within hours of birth
|
vision/eye
• in older mice, corneas exhibit increased cell proliferation and irregularity at the endothelial surface
|
• in older mice, corneas are thickened
|
• by E12.5, fiber cell differentiation and elongation ceases
• early maturation of primary and secondary lens fiber cells and the ability of these cells to remain in G0 is disrupted
• at E15.5, the boundary between proliferating and non-proliferating cells is shifted anteriorly
|
• by E13.5, the lens vesicle is hollow whereas it is filled in wild-type mice
• by E15.5, epithelial cells are confined to the anterior third rather than the anterior half of the lens vesicle
• after E16.5, the lens vesicle is deformed
|
small lens
(
J:56583
)
• at E17.5, lens size is reduced by one half or less of wild-type
|
craniofacial
• mice exhibit a fore-shortened head at birth
|
behavior/neurological
• mice do not eat at birth
|
growth/size/body
• mice exhibit a fore-shortened head at birth
