mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: death by E14.5 on a mixed genetic background involving 129 and C57BL/6Ncr
|
cardiovascular system
• abnormal capillaries that are too narrow to allow red blood cells to pass or that form larger sinuses where red blood cells pool
• larger blood vessels are normal
|
• branching pattern of capillaries is abnormal
|
• irregular and disorganized microvasculature
|
• branching pattern of capillaries is abnormal
|
• abnormalities are observed in the heart
|
hemorrhage
(
J:87890
)
• variable but extensive hemorrhaging in the brain and trunk of E13.5 mutants
|
hematopoietic system
• while definitive myeloerythroid lineages exist, there is a 2- to 5-fold reduction in the total number of colony forming cells
|
• megakaryocytes are not produced
|
vision/eye
small lens
(
J:87890
)
• observed at E13
|
• retina is abnormal at E13 and may be partially duplicated
|
nervous system
• abnormalities are observed in the brain
|
renal/urinary system
• abnormalities are observed in the kidney
|
respiratory system
• abnormalities are observed in the lungs
|
liver/biliary system
• total cellularity of fetal livers is decreased
|
limbs/digits/tail
N |
• no obvious limb defects are seen
