mortality/aging
• mutant embryos die between E9.5 and E11.5
|
embryo
• developmental delay is noted by E5.0 and by E8.5 homozygotes lag behind by 1 day compared to controls
|
• embryos fail to elongate and have general mesodermal defects resulting in uncoordinated somite segregation
|
• a rudimentary allantois forms, but does not fuse completely with the chorionic plate
|
growth/size/body
• developmental delay is noted by E5.0 and by E8.5 homozygotes lag behind by 1 day compared to controls
