mortality/aging
• most homozygotes die by E11.5; no embryos survive beyond E12.5
|
embryo
• at E10.5, mutant placentas contain fetal blood vessels in the superficial layer; however, only a few fetal blood vessels penetrate into the labyrinthine layer
|
• at E10.5 and E11.5, most homozygotes show severe growth retardation and are significantly smaller than wild-type embryos, probably as a result of placental malfunction
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit significantly thinner placental labyrinthine layers
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit small placentas relative to wild-type embryos
|
growth/size/body
• at E10.5 and E11.5, most homozygotes show severe growth retardation and are significantly smaller than wild-type embryos, probably as a result of placental malfunction
|
cardiovascular system
• at E10.5, mutant placentas contain fetal blood vessels in the superficial layer; however, only a few fetal blood vessels penetrate into the labyrinthine layer
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit very thin heart walls relative to wild-type embryos
|
muscle
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit very thin heart walls relative to wild-type embryos
