mortality/aging
• animals die between 5.5 and 8.5 dpc
|
embryo
• homozygotes do not form embryonic cavities, suggesting a failure of axis organization and specification
|
• abnormal visceral endoderm cells
(J:85113)
• homozygotes lack differentiated visceral endoderm
(J:109155)
• mutant visceral endoderm cells are morphologically abnormal
(J:109155)
• visceral endoderm continues to grow with the egg cylinder, causing cells to appear lacy
(J:109155)
