mortality/aging
• about 50% are lost by E15.5 and 2/3 are lost by birth; however those born alive survive to adulthood and are fertile
|
• begin to die between E11.5 and E12.5
|
embryo
• visible at E12.5
|
• the border between the spongiotrophoblast and labyrinth layers is unclear
• placental defects are independent of maternal genotype
|
• the spongiotrophoblast layer is thinner and irregularly protrudes into the labyrinth layer
|
• the spongiotrophoblast layer irregularly protrudes into the labyrinth layer
|
• dilation of vessels in the labyrinth layer
• maternal vessel area is reduced while fetal vessel area is not significantly different from wild-type
|
growth/size/body
• visible at E12.5
|
respiratory system
N |
• mice that survive to E19.5 are able to properly inflate their lungs
|
cardiovascular system
• dilation of vessels in the labyrinth layer
• maternal vessel area is reduced while fetal vessel area is not significantly different from wild-type
