mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos die around E8.5
|
embryo
• at E6.5 - E8.5 marker expression patterns suggest that homozygous embryos have delayed formation of the anterior mesoderm
|
• at E7.0 mesoderm accumulates midway along the proximal distal axis in the primitive streak
• at E7.0 cells accumulate at the proximal posterior of the epiblast in homozygous embryos
|
• at E7.5 homozygous embryos display morphological abnormalities
