mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos died at E14
|
cardiovascular system
• both dorsal aortae were still present in 7 of 8 E13 mutant embryos, whereas the right dorsal aorta had disappeared in all control littermates
• by E14 the right dorsal aorta, if present, had diminished greatly in diameter in mutant embryos
|
• at E13, only 25% of mutant ED13 hearts develop coronary arteries
|
• at E13 and E14, the two endocardial ridges were always present, but the number and position of intercalated ridges between them differed from controls
|
• abnormal endocardial ridges; never fused and failed to develop into semiluminar valves
|
• impaired development of the aortopulmonary septum
|
• septation defect affected the outlet portion of the ventricles and the great arteries
|
• dysplasia of the valves
|
• oscillating blood flow
|
hematopoietic system
• very few mature B cells are produced in irradiated mice reconstituted with mutant fetal liver cells
|
• CD43+B220+ pro-B cell numbers were reduced
|
• Cd43-B220+ pre-B cells were nearly absent
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• generalized edema apparent at E14
|
immune system
• very few mature B cells are produced in irradiated mice reconstituted with mutant fetal liver cells
|
• CD43+B220+ pro-B cell numbers were reduced
|
• Cd43-B220+ pre-B cells were nearly absent
|
digestive/alimentary system
• observed in 4 mutant embryos
|
respiratory system
• observed in 4 mutant embryos
