embryo
• mandibular component of the first branchial arch is severely reduced
|
• mandibular component of the first branchial arch is fused in the midline
|
• at E9.5 mice have an abnormal trunk
|
• mutants exhibit a kink in the truck with dorsal instead of ventral curling of the tail, indicating defective embryonic turning
|
• small at E9.5
|
• midline fusion of the anterior lips of the cephalic neural plate and a poorly defined or absent midline groove at E8.5
|
• E8.25 mutants exhibit midline defects of the neural plate in the prospective forebrain
|
nervous system
• E8.25 mutants exhibit midline defects of the neural plate in the prospective forebrain
|
cardiovascular system
• at E9.5, the pericadial sac is enlarged
|
craniofacial
• mandibular component of the first branchial arch is severely reduced
|
• mandibular component of the first branchial arch is fused in the midline
|
growth/size/body
• small at E9.5
|
vision/eye
• incomplete separation of the bilateral evaginations that form the optic vesicles and by E8.5, the bilateral cup-like evaginations are replaced by a deep single evagination
