mortality/aging
• most mice died within 1 day of birth, though some survived up to 8 days, and 2 to adulthood
|
behavior/neurological
abnormal gait
(
J:84392
)
• mice surviving to adulthood dragged their hindlimbs
|
craniofacial
• rounder than that of wild-type or heterozygous mutant mice
|
• slightly smaller than that of wild-type or heterozygous mutant mice
|
• in conjunction with shortened nasal bone, resulting in flattened midface
|
• shortened nasal bone, resulting in flattened midface
|
• flattened midface
|
• cleft secondary palate observed in 88% of mice
• consequence of abnormally high positioning and enlargement of the tongue
|
• enlargement observed around E14, resulting in the disruption of the development of the palatal shelf
