mortality/aging
• no homozygous animals are recovered postnatally; embryos survive to E15.5 then display a drop in viability
|
embryo
• embryos are delayed by about 1 day
|
• 30-50% of embryos isolated at E10.5-11.5 have a defect in spinal neural tube closure; in some, the neural tube remained completely open, while in others it is closed at discrete points with the intervening regions remaining open
|
spina bifida
(
J:105920
)
• later in development, some embryos display spina bifida
|
