mortality/aging
• homozygotes are obtained at E10.5 but are either absent or necrotic at E12.5
|
embryo
• at E10.5, homozygotes display reduced vascularization of the labyrinth, with defective embryonic blood vessels that contain immature fetal erythrocytes
|
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit incomplete or distorted branchial arches
|
cardiovascular system
• at E10.5, homozygotes display reduced vascularization of the labyrinth, with defective embryonic blood vessels that contain immature fetal erythrocytes
|
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit cardiac abnormalities of variable severity, ranging from incomplete formation of the chambers to distorted chamber architecture
|
nervous system
• at E9.5, homozygotes display brain abnormalities of variable severity ranging from absence of forebrain and incomplete morphogenesis of the hindbrain to an open/contorted anterior neural tube and an abnormal hindbrain with a narrow lumen and a hyperplastic neuroepithelium
|
cellular
• MEFs isolated from E9.5 homozygotes display reduced formation of long actin stress fibers and vinculin-rich focal adhesions
|
craniofacial
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit incomplete or distorted branchial arches
