• at E8.5, development of the node is severely disturbed in a subset of mutants
• complete node duplications are observed in some mutants
• the most severely affected double heterozygotes show abnormalities around E7 and fail to form a primitive streak
• addition rows of somites are observed in the most severely affected embryos
• by late gastrulation stages, embryos are grossly disorganized
• the most severely affected embryos develop pronounced constrictions between the embryonic and extraembryonic regions of the conceptus
• embryos frequently show tissue accumulation within the amniotic cavity

nervous system
• node abnormalities result in expansion of the floor plate of the neural tube

cellular
• AVE is correctly induced but fails to migrate anteriorly
