mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos die around E11.5
|
cardiovascular system
• fetal red blood cells are seen in the pericardium along with lesions in the heart
|
hemothorax
(
J:99585
)
• extensive thoracic hemorrhage is seen at E11
|
muscle
• foci of degenerating cardiomyocytes with signs of apoptosis are seen around E11 in the atrium or ventricular compact wall
• foci are flanked by anuclear swollen cells and the normal elongated epicardial and cardial monolayers are frequently absent around the lesions
• despite the cardiac defects no abnormalities in the placenta are detected
