mortality/aging
• males survive until birth but die on first postnatal day
|
cardiovascular system
• blood vessels in brain are dilated
|
• males show abnormal outflow tracts including interrupted aortic arch, but less severe than Flnatm1.1Caw mutant males
|
• some adherens junctions (AJs) are unidentifiable, with excessive membrane ruffles at sites where AJs normally form
|
• endothelial cells are poorly organized with clusters or multiple layers and gaps in outflow tract
|
• males show abnormal outflow tracts including PTA, but less severe than Flnatm1.1Caw mutant males
|
• endothelial cells are poorly organized with clusters or multiple layers and gaps in endocardial cushion
|
homeostasis/metabolism
nervous system
• at E14.5, surviving mutants have smaller but grossly normal brains, with thinner cortical plate
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• no heterotopic neurons or migratory arrest are seen in mutant brains
