mortality/aging
• disrupt embryonic development and caused embryonic lethality between E10.5 and E11.5
• overall phenotype is similar but more severe defects in embryonic development than homozygous C2cd3hty
|
nervous system
• the basal plates of the midbrain are flat in homozygous mutants with exencephaly
|
exencephaly
(
J:142506
)
• some homozygous mutants exhibit exencephaly in the midbrain and posterior forebrain
|
embryo
• primary cilia were absent in nearly all cells of the ventral embryonic node
|
• 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
• more severe loss of ventral cell types than homozygous C2cd3hty
|
• the basal plates of the midbrain are flat in homozygous mutants with exencephaly
|
cellular
• primary cilia were absent in nearly all cells of the ventral embryonic node
