mortality/aging
• embryos die around E10.5
|
cardiovascular system
• reduced vasculature in the embryos and in the yolk sac
• most evident in the capillary beds underlying the neural tube
|
• normal looping morphogenesis followed by impaired chamber formation
• embryos do not form differentiated ventricles or atria but rather possess thickened looped tubes
• the abnormal hearts maintained contractility at E10.5
|
embryo
• at E9.5, gross underdevelopment of fore-, mid-, and hindbrain regions as well as incomplete neural tube closure
• mice do complete axial rotation and initiate branchial arch and anterior limb bud development successfully
|
• approximately 60% the size of normal littermates
|
• observed at E9.5 in many embryos

hematopoietic system
nervous system
• observed at E9.5 in many embryos
