mortality/aging
• pups die within a day of birth with cleft palates
|
behavior/neurological
• newborn pups cannot feed
|
craniofacial
• the primary palate forms, but growth is incomplete and primary palates fails to fuse with secondary palate
|
• at E15.5 palatal shelves have elevated to the horizontal level, but appear short and misaligned and the posterior area of palate has not elevated
• excessive apoptosis of periderm cells of the surface epithelium is observed in medial edge epithelium (MEE); basal layer epithelial cells do not show increased apoptosis
|
• at E13.5, shelves are positioned normally, but appear slightly smaller than controls
|
• the secondary palate contains a wide cleft in the anterior and mid-section
|
• at E14.4, palatal shelves fail to elevate and remain in a vertical position at sides of tongue
• at E15.5 palatal shelves have elevated to the horizontal level, but appear short and misaligned and the posterior area of palate has not elevated
|
• tongue is hypoplastic at E14.5
|
