• no homozygotes detected among live births
• no homozygotes found at E7.5 or beyond
• E3.5 and E4.5 homozygotes indistinguishable from controls

embryo
• inner cell mass from E3.5 embryos in culture fails to proliferate
|
• inner cell mass from E3.5 embryos in culture begins to degenerate soon after appearing
• fragmented micronuclei present suggestive of apoptosis
• effects very noticeable after 3 days in culture but not after 1 day
|
• trophoblast cells from E3.5 embryos in culture spread more slowly than those from controls
