mortality/aging
• disrupt embryonic development and caused embryonic lethality between E11 and E13
|
nervous system
• the basal plates of the midbrain are flat in homozygous mutants with exencephaly
• normal cells expressing Foxa2 in the floor plate are missing in spinal cord
|
• tight mesencephalic flexure in mutant embryos that undergo neural tube closure
|
exencephaly
(
J:142506
)
• some homozygous mutants exhibit exencephaly in the midbrain and posterior forebrain
|
embryo
• primary cilia failed to form in most cells in the ventral embryonic node
• primary cilia formation in MEF derived from mutant embryo was greatly compromised
|
• dorsal-ventral patterning of the CNS is disrupted
• loss of ventral cell types in the spinal cord and a ventral expansion of more lateral cell types
• less severe loss of ventral cell types than homozygous C2cd3Gt(AG0177)Wtsi
|
• loss of left-right asymmetry
|
• twisted body axis
|
• the basal plates of the midbrain are flat in homozygous mutants with exencephaly
• normal cells expressing Foxa2 in the floor plate are missing in spinal cord
|
cardiovascular system
• the heart loop turns to opposite direction of the wild type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
limbs/digits/tail
polydactyly
(
J:142506
)
• exhibit severe polydactyly in all four limbs at E12.5
|
cellular
• primary cilia failed to form in most cells in the ventral embryonic node
• primary cilia formation in MEF derived from mutant embryo was greatly compromised
