mortality/aging
• homozygotes die soon after birth
|
• 30-50% of embryos die between E11.5 and E13.5
|
• Background Sensitivity: on a pure 129/Sv background, 100% of homozygous embryos die
|
pigmentation
• delayed eye pigmentation at E10.5
|
cellular
• reduction in the number of S phase cells in cultured MEFs
|
craniofacial
cleft palate
(
J:88090
)
• seen in newborns
|
embryo
• turned by E9.5 but are very small
|
• development appears to be delayed 12-24 hours
|
• abnormalities of the neural tube in the midbrain area
|
• E8.5 embryos with 0-2 somites as opposed to 6-7 somites normally
|
hematopoietic system
• erythrocytes remain nucleated at E16.5
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• common by E13.5-E14.5
|
limbs/digits/tail
• preaxial polydactyly is common
|
liver/biliary system
• basophilic elongated nuclei in E16.5 hepatoblasts
|
• focal liver degeneration at E16.5
|
respiratory system
• immature lung phenotype
• hypercellularity
|
• thickened mesenchyme
|
• lungs never inflate prior to death
|
• homozygous mice die of respiratory distress
|
skeleton
vision/eye
• absence of the eye altogether occasionally
|
• delayed eye pigmentation at E10.5
|
nervous system
• abnormalities of the neural tube in the midbrain area
|
growth/size/body
cleft palate
(
J:88090
)
• seen in newborns
|
• development appears to be delayed 12-24 hours
|
• body weight of E18.5 embryos is about 50% of normal
|
digestive/alimentary system
