mortality/aging
• before E11.5
• Background Sensitivity: increasing the amount of C57BL/6 in the strain background results in a slight reduction in the severity of the phenotype
|
nervous system
• seen at E9.5 in most homozygotes
• Background Sensitivity: increasing C57BL/6 content decreased this phenotype
|
• at E9.5
|
growth/size/body
• growth is slowed at E6.5 and development is retarded by E7.5
• E9.5 is the 8 somite stage
|
embryo
• growth is slowed at E6.5 and development is retarded by E7.5
• E9.5 is the 8 somite stage
|
• seen at E9.5 in most homozygotes
• Background Sensitivity: increasing C57BL/6 content decreased this phenotype
|
• at E9.5
|
• Meox1 expression is initiated normally but then lost from the anterior most somites and somites seem to disappear resulting in kinking of the neural tube
|
cellular
• widespread apoptosis is seen at E9.5
