craniofacial
• at E9.0 cell loss in mandibular component of first branchial arch

cardiovascular system
• this locus regulates endothelial cell shapes and their distributions to control vascular morphogenesis
• defects in endothelial cell positioning and extensive areas of cell to cell contact
• number and extent of trabelcular projections from the myocardium are reduced
• aberrant sprouting and pruning
• vessel lumen maintenance disrupted or absent along the dorsal aorta
• variation in width of lumen along dorsal aorta
• vessel lumen maintenance disrupted or absent along the dorsal aorta
• endothelial cells mispositioned along anterior-posterior axis
• misaligned myocardial and endocardial cells
• edema develops by 9.5 dpc, followed by heart failure
• delayed initiation of blood circulation
• local areas of hemorrhage in embryonic head, branchial arches and limb buds following delayed initiation of circulation
• embryo hearts display weak spontaneous contractions and never develop regular rhythm

embryo
• at E9.0 cell loss in mandibular component of first branchial arch
• reduction of growth occurs after 8.5 dpc, most prominently in the head
• at E8.75, embryos show necrosis in frontonasal mesenchyme
• at E9.0 cell loss is seen in the interior of somites
• yolk sac blood vessels retain primary vascular plexus architecture by 9.5 dpc, undergo little, if any, angiogenesis
• 10.5 dpc yolk sacs appear avascular

cellular
• there is a requirement for this locus to prevent apoptosis in the mesenchyme of the frontonasal mass, first branchial arch and somites during development

growth/size/body
• reduction of growth occurs after 8.5 dpc, most prominently in the head
• at E8.75, embryos show necrosis in frontonasal mesenchyme
• 8.75 dpc embryos show necrosis in frontonasal mesenchyme, cell loss in head and somites
• vessels develop large dilations, and undergo aberrant sprouting and pruning
• endothelial cells develop a spreading, globular profile; some cells have abnormal cellular protrusions

homeostasis/metabolism
• edema develops by 9.5 dpc, followed by heart failure
• lack of circulation

mortality/aging

muscle
• number and extent of trabelcular projections from the myocardium are reduced
• embryo hearts display weak spontaneous contractions and never develop regular rhythm
