mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: dead but morphologically identifiable homozygous embryos are found E12.5, while on a mixed background, mutants surviving past E7.5 are alive and indistinguishable from littermates at E12.5
|
limbs/digits/tail
• Background Sensitivity: limbs are abnormal but this phenotype is less apparent than on a mixed background and when death occurs prior to E14.5
|
craniofacial
• Background Sensitivity: defects are observed but are less apparent than on mixed background and when death occurs prior to E14.5
