mortality/aging
• embryos develop severe anterior truncations at E8.5

embryo
• embryos develop severe anterior truncations at E8.5
• at E9.5, anterior neurectoderm fails to proliferate and is filled with pyknotic nuclei

cardiovascular system
• heart tube is abnormally looped
• pericardium is often edematous
• pericardium is often enlarged

digestive/alimentary system
• gut tube forms but is poorly elaborated in anterior region; instead of extending to level of Rathke's pouch like wild-type, no gut tissue is evident at this level in mutants and is absent anterior to level of heart

homeostasis/metabolism
• pericardium is often edematous

nervous system
• at E9.5, anterior neurectoderm fails to proliferate and is filled with pyknotic nuclei
• midbrain regions are not specified
• forebrain regions are not specified
• the anterior neurectoderm fails to proliferate
