nervous system
• at E9.5 and E10.5 radial glial cells prematurely differentiate into neurons resulting in failure of later born cells (oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and ependymal cells) to be generated
• at E9.5 and E10.5 prematurely differentiated neurons are found in the regions where the optic vesicles should develop
• neural tube defects in 71.2% of embryos (J:62024)
• at E10.5 the cells of the neural tube are disorganized with many cells scattered across the lumen rather in contrast to the radial morphology seen in wild-type mice (J:94391)
• also at E10.5 the outer boundary of the neural tube is irregular and ambiguous (J:94391)
• the forebrain monotonous tube
• ependymal cells are absent
• astrocytes are absent
• oligodendrocytes are absent
• the ganglionic eminences are not properly formed due to premature neuronal differentiation
• even greater neuron density in double homozygotes

• the basal lamina is missing from the ventral spinal cord and neurons of the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia are intermingled
