mortality/aging
• many mice die between E14.5 and E15.5: about 50% lethality occurs in utero
|
cardiovascular system
• vasculature in adult mice is tortuous
• authors state that the phenotypes observed are consistent with the phenotypes observed in Egfl7Gt(OST80956)Lex homozygotes
|
• at P5, retinal vascular coverage is reduced
• defect in adult retina vasculature include tortuous arteries, aberrant association between vessels of similar diameter, irregular vessel diameter along its length, vessels that form loops and knots, and some primary vessels that penetrate the outer plexiform layer
|
• at E12.5 and E14.5, mice exhibit decreased coronary vascular coverage and reduced cranial vasculature complexity
|
vision/eye
• at P5, retinal vascular coverage is reduced
• defect in adult retina vasculature include tortuous arteries, aberrant association between vessels of similar diameter, irregular vessel diameter along its length, vessels that form loops and knots, and some primary vessels that penetrate the outer plexiform layer
