mortality/aging
• only a few (8) homozygotes survive to weaning; however, 7 of 8 die within a few weeks because of a cardiac-related wasting syndrome while the eighth one survived to 14 months
|
• most homozygotes die between E14.5 and birth
|
• at E18.5, most homozygotes exhibit rapid demise suggesting perfusion failure
|
cardiovascular system
• at E14.5 and E18.5, most homozygotes exhibit noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium
|
• at E14.5 and E18.5, homozygotes display hypertrophic trabeculae with deep intertrabecular recesses
|
• at E14.5 and E18.5, homozygotes exhibit prominent ventral septal defects
|
• at E18.5, most homozygotes display a significantly increased heart weight relative to wild-type mice (13.4 0.44 mg vs 8.14 0.38 mg)
|
• at E14.5 and E18.5, homozygotes display a thinner left ventricular wall
|
dilated heart
(
J:45536
)
• at E18.5, most homozygotes display an enlarged heart due to four-chamber dilation
|
• homozygotes exhibit severe dilated cardiomyopathy associated with aberrant single-channel gating properties of both skeletal and cardiac ryanodinereceptors
|
• at E14.5, many homozygotes exhibit severe liver hemorrhage
|
• a single 14-mo-old homozygote displayed reduced contractile activity in the ventricular wall, as shown by reduced fractional shortening (%FS = 19.9%) and ejection fraction (%EF = 35.8%) relative to wild-type (%FS = 41.6%; %EF = 65.1%)
|
growth/size/body
• at E18.5, most homozygotes display a significantly increased heart weight relative to wild-type mice (13.4 0.44 mg vs 8.14 0.38 mg)
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at E14.5, about 50% of homozygotes are edematous consistent with an early heart defect
|
respiratory system
• at E18.5, most homozygotes gasp for breath
|
nervous system
• at E9.5, homozygous mutant embryos exhibit an open cranial neural tube
|
exencephaly
(
J:45536
)
• 9% of E14.5 and 4% of E18.5 homozygotes display exencephaly with a 'cauliflower-like' protrusion of the mutant brain
|
muscle
• at E14.5 and E18.5, most homozygotes exhibit noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium
|
• at E14.5 and E18.5, homozygotes display hypertrophic trabeculae with deep intertrabecular recesses
|
• homozygotes display an apparently normal skeletal muscle development through embryogenesis; however, lipid bilayer experiments indicate that both skeletal (RyR1) and cardiac (RyR2) ryanodinereceptors show altered single-channel properties
|
• homozygotes exhibit severe dilated cardiomyopathy associated with aberrant single-channel gating properties of both skeletal and cardiac ryanodinereceptors
|
• a single 14-mo-old homozygote displayed reduced contractile activity in the ventricular wall, as shown by reduced fractional shortening (%FS = 19.9%) and ejection fraction (%EF = 35.8%) relative to wild-type (%FS = 41.6%; %EF = 65.1%)
|
liver/biliary system
• at E14.5, many homozygotes exhibit severe liver hemorrhage
|
• at E14.5, many homozygotes exhibit prominent liver necrosis
|
embryo
• at E9.5, homozygous mutant embryos exhibit an open cranial neural tube
