mortality/aging
• phenotype is identical to Gsk3btm1Jrw homozygotes
|
craniofacial
• at E16.5, palatal shelves have rotated but do not meet at the midline
|
• complete cleft of the secondary palate
• treatment with rapamycin at E13.5 through E15.0 results in partial (1 of 9) or complete (5 of 9) rescue of palatogenesis
|
skeleton
• often there are holes in the xiphoid cartilage
|
• sternal bars are frequently bifurcated and the appearance of ossification centers is delayed
• treatment with rapamycin at E15.5 through E17.0 results in partial (3 of 7) or complete (4 of 7) rescue of sternal fusion
|
• delay in ossification of the sternum is more obvious at early stages but by E18.5 levels of ossification in the sternum are sometimes similar to wild-type controls although the ossification centers are often in abnormal locations
|
• delayed ossification of the skull, ear bones, and cranial base
• delay in ossification of the sternum is more obvious at early stages but by E18.5 levels of ossification in the sternum are sometimes similar to wild-type controls
|
digestive/alimentary system
• at E16.5, palatal shelves have rotated but do not meet at the midline
|
• complete cleft of the secondary palate
• treatment with rapamycin at E13.5 through E15.0 results in partial (1 of 9) or complete (5 of 9) rescue of palatogenesis
|
growth/size/body
• at E16.5, palatal shelves have rotated but do not meet at the midline
|
• complete cleft of the secondary palate
• treatment with rapamycin at E13.5 through E15.0 results in partial (1 of 9) or complete (5 of 9) rescue of palatogenesis
