mortality/aging
• mutant embryos die by E11
|
cardiovascular system
• embryos exhibit an arrest in intersomitic vessel angiogenesis at the primary plexus stage; the vessels appear fused dorsally with little or no branching
|
• vasculature is disorganized and less developed
|
• E9.5 mutants exhibit a failure of anterior cardinal vein assembly
• the capillary bed of the head appears dilated and arrested at the primary plexus stage
• embryos exhibit an arrest in intersomitic vessel angiogenesis at the primary plexus stage; the vessels appear fused dorsally with little or no branching
|
• E9.5 mutants exhibit a failure of anterior cardinal vein assembly and remodeling
|
• yolk sac is a homogeneous capillary bed at E9.5, indicating arrest of artery and vein development at the primary plexus stage
|
• little or no myocardial trabecular extensions by E9
|
• heart looping defects
|
• hearts are swollen at E9.5
|
embryo

|
• embryos are developmentally less advanced at E9.5
|
• evident at E10
|
