mortality/aging
• embryos inheriting the chromosome deletion from their mothers die around E10.5
• females inheriting the chromosome deletion paternally are viable and fertile
|
embryo
• embryos whom maternally inherit the chromosome deletion have a thicker giant cell layer in their placenta
|
• embryos whom maternally inherit the chromosome deletion lack spongiotrophoblasts in their placenta
|
• there is an absence of blood in the yolk sacs of embryos whom maternally inherit the chromosome deletion
|
cardiovascular system
• is observed in E10.5 embryos whom maternally inherit the chromosome deletion
|
cellular
• the chromosome deletion contains paternally silenced genes so that no abnormal phenotype is observed when the deletion is inherited paternally and embryonic lethality is observed when the deletion is inherited maternally
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• is observed in E10.5 embryos whom maternally inherit the chromosome deletion
