mortality/aging
• homozygous mice die between E12.5 and E15.5
|
cardiovascular system
• homozygous embryos had severe hypoplasia of the cardiac ventricular free walls
• tetraploid aggregation does not rescue the heart defects
|
embryo
• homozygous embryos had abnormal placental morphology in which abnormal trophoblasts accumulated within labyrinth layer
|
• thinner and less vascularized
|
• large clusters of packed trophoblasts replace the maternal and fetal blood space
|
liver/biliary system
small liver
(
J:95332
)
• viable homozygous embryos at E13.5-14.5 had smaller liver than wild-type
|
respiratory system
small lung
(
J:95332
)
• viable homozygous embryos at E13.5-14.5 had smaller lung than wild-type
