mortality/aging
• embryos die between E10.5-11.0
|
embryo
N |
• principal pattern of crainial neural crest cell migration is maintained
|
• about 8% of embryos have branchial arches that are reduced in size
|
• general growth retardation observed at E9.5
|
• defects are observed in yolk sac vasculature
|
growth/size/body
• general growth retardation observed at E9.5
|
cardiovascular system
• intersomitic vessels form defectively, with numerous aberrant branches and sprouts invading somitic tissue instead of respecting somitic boundaries as seen in wild-type embryos at E9.5
|
• at E9.5, anterior cardinal veins have not formed; endothelial cells are arranged loosely and irregularly and do not form a tubular structure
|
• inflation of pericard is observed at E9.5
|
craniofacial
• about 8% of embryos have branchial arches that are reduced in size
