mortality/aging

cardiovascular system
• double homozygous mutant hearts lack endocardial cushion formation
• double homozygotes exhibit a less clear distinction between the atrium and ventricle; the expansion of the common atrium is significantly less extensive relative to Nkx2-5tm1Siz mutant embryos
• in addition, differentiation of atrial myocytes appears to be retarded
• at E10.5, double homozygotes display massive pericardial effusion, similar to Nkx2.5tm1Siz mutant embryos

growth/size/body
• at E10.5, double homozygotes exhibit severe growth retardation

respiratory system
• at E9.5 and E10.5, double homozygotes show disrupted pharynx formation in the pharyngeal part of the foregut, characterized by severe dilatation, reduced numbers of pharyngeal endodermal cells, and loss of a continuous endodermal cell layer
• only a small number of endodermal cells are detected, mainly on the ventral side

cellular
• at E8.75, double homozygotes exhibit enhanced apoptosis in pharyngeal endodermal cells, except for a small number of non-apoptotic cells on the ventral side
• at E8.75, double homozygotes exhibit reduced proliferation of pharyngeal endodermal cells

embryo
• at E10.5, double homozygotes exhibit severe growth retardation
• double homozygotes fail to form pharyngeal pouches, as shown by loss of Pax9 expression in the endoderm of pharyngeal pouches

homeostasis/metabolism
• at E10.5, double homozygotes display massive pericardial effusion, similar to Nkx2.5tm1Siz mutant embryos

cardiovascular system
• mice homozygous for Nkx2-5tm1Siz and heterozygous for Nkx2-6tm1Siz lack endocardial cushion formation

respiratory system
• at E8.5 and E9.5, mice homozygous for Nkx2-5tm1Siz and heterozygous for Nkx2-6tm1Siz exhibit poor pharyngeal formation, similar to that observed in double homozygous mutant embryos
