skeleton
decreased rib number ( J:104372 )
• thoracic to cervical transformation of V8, with the consequent loss of one rib
thoracic vertebral transformation ( J:104372 )
• 5 of 7 have their first rib on the 9th vertebrae (V9) instead of on V8 (thoracic to cervical transformation of V8, with the consequent loss of one rib), with 3 of 5 exhibiting this transformation bilaterally
• 5 of 7 have the 8th rib pair attached to the sternum bilaterally, indicating anterior transformation at the level of V15

mortality/aging

growth/size/body
embryonic growth retardation ( J:104372 )
• exhibit developmental retardation at E10.5

embryo
sirenomelia ( J:104372 )
• truncation of embryonic structures posterior to the hindlimbs that results in a more anteriorly located tail bud
embryonic growth retardation ( J:104372 )
• exhibit developmental retardation at E10.5
abnormal allantois morphology ( J:104372 )
• allantoic endothelial cells often exhibit, to a variable extent, a poorer degree of primary vessel organization around the time of chorioallantoic fusion
abnormal placenta vasculature ( J:104372 )
• at E10.5, maternal blood pools and embryonic blood vessels are widely separated
absent placenta hemotrichorial membrane ( J:104372 )
• the hemotrichorial membrane is almost completely absent
abnormal placenta labyrinth morphology ( J:104372 )
• all embryos that do undergo chorioallantoic fusion display deficient placental labyrinth development at E10.5
• fail to properly extend the allantoic vascular network into the chorionic ectoderm and do not develop a functional placental labyrinth
failure of chorioallantoic fusion ( J:104372 )
• allantois of 7 of 35 mutants has not fused with the chorion at E9.5

skeleton
increased rib number ( J:104372 )
• have 14 ribs due to the partial or complete bilateral rib attachment to V21
thoracic vertebral transformation ( J:104372 )
• 4 of 4 have the 8th pair of ribs attached to the sternum, indicating anterior transformation at the level of V15
lumbar vertebral transformation ( J:104372 )
• 4 of 4 have a partial or complete rib attached to V21 bilaterally, at the position normally corresponding to the first lumbar vertebrae

homeostasis/metabolism
edema ( J:104372 )
• thoracic edema at E10.5

limbs/digits/tail
sirenomelia ( J:104372 )
• truncation of embryonic structures posterior to the hindlimbs that results in a more anteriorly located tail bud

cardiovascular system
abnormal placenta vasculature ( J:104372 )
• at E10.5, maternal blood pools and embryonic blood vessels are widely separated
