mortality/aging
• homozygotes die between E9.5 and E10.5
|
cardiovascular system
• at E9.0 - 9.5 development of the endocardial cushions in the outflow tract is stopped at the acellular stage
|
• at E9.0 - 9.5 development of the endocardial cushions in atrio-ventricular canal is stopped at the acellular stage
|
• at E9.0 - 9.5 the ventricular walls are hypoplastic probably as a result of a defect in myocyte proliferation
|
• at E9.0 - 9.5 primitive ventricular trabeculae are formed but fail to grow
|
• at E9.0 - 9.5 homozygous mutants hearts contract at a significantly slower rate compared to wild-type mice
