mortality/aging
• normal ratio of homozygotes through E9.5
• decreased numbers of homozygotes after E10.5
• only resorbing homozygous embryos at E11.5
|
embryo
• embryos severely malformed at E10.5
• the tailbud and the posterior of the embryo develop ectopically outside the yolk sac
|
• halt in somitogenesis after 13 somites leading to a posterior truncation
|
• posterior protrusions outside of the yolk sac
|
• neural tube remains open at E9.5; however, neural tube closure is observed in the middle of the ectopic tailbud
• anterior neural tissue continues to grow
|
• no posterior neuropore is observed in the tailbud at E9.5
|
• large invagination of neural epithelium within the primitive streak at E8.5
|
• no more than 13 somites form
• reduced trunk and posterior structures at E9.5
|
• protrusion of tissue at the base of the allantois
• often fails to attach to the chorion
