mortality/aging
• no homozygotes born
• all homozygous embryos dead at E11.5
|
cardiovascular system
• lack of intricate branching network of embryonic vessels
• close apposition of fetal vessels with maternal blood vessels not seen
|
• although vasculogenesis is initiated normally, angiogenesis fails
|
• absence of large vitelline blood vessels
|
• absence of extensive vascular network
• disorganized vascular pattern
• vessels with thinner walls and sparse endothelial cell lining
|
• occasionally reduced trabeculations
|
• occasionally thinned myocardial layer
|
• dilated pericardial sac at E10.5
|
dilated heart
(
J:92266
)
• dilated cardiac chambers occasionally
|
hemorrhage
(
J:92266
)
• pools of fetal blood in amniotic cavity
|
embryo
• absence of large vitelline blood vessels
|
• at E10.5, embryo development delayed about 0.5 days
|
• embryos at E10.5 significantly smaller
|
• placentation and initiation of vascular penetration was normal but there was a decreased thickness of the labyrinth layer
|
• lack of intricate branching network of embryonic vessels
• close apposition of fetal vessels with maternal blood vessels not seen
|
• absence of extensive vascular network
• disorganized vascular pattern
• vessels with thinner walls and sparse endothelial cell lining
|
growth/size/body
• at E10.5, embryo development delayed about 0.5 days
|
• embryos at E10.5 significantly smaller
|
muscle
• occasionally reduced trabeculations
|
