mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: on a mixed background 89% survive to weaning compared to less than 5% survival on a congenic C57BL/6 background
• most mice that die, fail to thrive and die within a few days of birth

cardiovascular system
• atrioventricular canal explants from E9.5 embryos have a slight reduction in the number of outgrowing cells and a strong reduction in the number of fully transformed, elongated mesenchymal cells indicating impaired epithelial to mesenchymal transition
• impairment is less severe than in Notch1tm2Agt homozygotes
• outflow tract cushion sizes are normal but cell density is reduced by 37%, compared to controls
• at E11.5 atrioventricular cushion sizes are normal but cell density is reduced by 31% compared to controls
• Background Sensitivity: by E15.5, dysplastic atrioventricular valves are present in 13% of mice on a mixed background compared to 53% of mice on a congenic C57BL/6 background
• dysplasia is more pronounced in newborns
• Background Sensitivity: incidence of ventricular septal defects is decreased on a mixed background (21%) compared to mice on a congenic C57BL/6 background (82%)
• at E13.5 20 of 25 mice had failed to closed the ventricular septum as a result of absence of the membranous septum
• however, the muscular portion of the septum is unaffected
• thickened valves are prone to insufficiency and blood flow obstruction
• pronounced thickening
• ventricular hypertrophy

mortality/aging
• no double homozygous embryos survive and all show abnormalities by E10.5

cardiovascular system
• reduction in expression of arterial specific markers suggests impaired arterial cell fate specification in double homozygotes
• the dorsal aortae are frequently reduced or missing on one or both sides of double homozygous embryos probably as a result of impaired aortic wall formation
• intersomitic vessels formed by angiogenetic sprouting do form but appear less organized than in controls
• at E10.5 no embryonic blood vessels can be detected in the labyrinthine layer
• however, embryonic vessels are seen in the allantois and chorionic plate
• the cardinal veins are frequently reduced or missing on one or both sides of double homozygous embryos
• vascular patterning is coarse especially in the head with many truncated vessels without finely branched trees
• at E9.5 the heart lacks trabeculae
• at E9.5 the heart has initiated looping but the myocardium is much thinner
• at E9.5 - E10.5 the ventricular portion of the heart does not fully enlarge however contractions and blood circulation appear to occur
• at E10.5 balloon like pericardial sacs are seen in homozygous mutants
• at E9.5 evidence of hemorrhage can be seen
• at E10.5 massive hemorrhage is seen in the head, trunk, and pericardial cavity of homozygous mutants

embryo
• at E9.5 double homozygous embryos appear developmentally retarded
• at E9.5 the neural tube is thinner and the surrounding mesenchymal cells appear sparse
• somite formation ceases after E9.5 after 21-26 somites although the somites that do form are normal in size and shape
• at E10.5 the labyrinthine layer lacks fetal blood circulation and appears very cell-rich without the intermingling of maternal and embryonic blood spaces seen in controls
• at E10.5 no embryonic blood vessels can be detected in the labyrinthine layer
• however, embryonic vessels are seen in the allantois and chorionic plate
• formation of an umbilical cord is initiated; however, after E9.5 the connection between embryo and placenta does not mature into a thicker umbilical cord
• at E9.5 the primitive vascular plexus is present but fails to remodel and by E10.5 is unchanged or degenerating
• by E11.5 when most double homozygous embryos are necrotic no vasculature is left in the yolk sac

muscle
• at E9.5 the heart lacks trabeculae
• at E9.5 the heart has initiated looping but the myocardium is much thinner

nervous system
• at E9.5 the neural tube is thinner and the surrounding mesenchymal cells appear sparse

growth/size/body
• at E9.5 double homozygous embryos appear developmentally retarded
