mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos die between E12.5 and E14.5
|
cardiovascular system
• at E13.5 - E14.5, blood vessels are thin and poorly developed and the embryos appear pale
|
• at E14.5, the normal vascular branching structure is absent, instead many disorganized vascular structures are seen
|
• in extreme cases no blood vessels are seen on the yolk sac
|
embryo
• in extreme cases no blood vessels are seen on the yolk sac
|
• at E12.5 mutants are smaller and slightly underdeveloped
|
• the primitive vascular plexus forms but by E10.5 the yolk sac has fewer, thin, small and poorly organized vessels
|
liver/biliary system
small liver
(
J:97770
)
• at E13.5 - E14.5 the liver is smaller
|
growth/size/body
• at E12.5 mutants are smaller and slightly underdeveloped
