mortality/aging
• mortality occurs at birth with fewer than expect mice survive to weaning
• however, surviving mice are viable, fertile and present no phenotypic abnormalities

respiratory system
atelectasis
(
J:125040
)
• at E18.5, mice present with collapsed lungs
|
• all mice have abnormal trachea with fusion of the first tracheal rings to the cricoid, an abnormal banding pattern of the rings and a reduced dorsal extension of the cartilage along the trachea
|
• fusion of the first tracheal rings to the cricoid

skeleton
• all mice have abnormal trachea with fusion of the first tracheal rings to the cricoid, an abnormal banding pattern of the rings and a reduced dorsal extension of the cartilage along the trachea
|
• fusion of the first tracheal rings to the cricoid
|
• at E18.5, the tuberculum anterior on C6 is absent in nearly all mice bilaterally
• at E18.5, ribs are present on C7 bilaterally in 7 of 13 mice and unilaterally in 5 of 13 mice compared to wild-type mice in which ribs are absent bilaterally in nearly all mice
• at E18.5, ectopic dorsal processes are present on T1 in all mice as opposed to 50% of wild-type mice
