mortality/aging
• while normal Mendelian ratios are present at E18.5, mice do not survive past P0
|
respiratory system
• lung capillaries are less associated with saccules compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E18.5, mice exhibit smaller saccules with thicker inter-saccule mesenchyme compared to in wild-type mice
• saccules occupy one third of the lung space compared to in wild-type mice
|
• type II surfactant cells are not clearly interdigited between type I cells and SFTPC (SP-C) staining is more punctate and distributed throughout the cells instead of localized to the apical end as in wild-type mice
|
• less flattened compared to in wild-type mice
|
cardiovascular system
• lung capillaries are less associated with saccules compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E18.5, one mouse exhibited VSD in conjunction with an overriding aorta and accompanied by narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract and thickening of the ventricular chamber wall
|
• at E18.5, mice exhibit muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in the anterior and posterior walls
• at E18.5, one mouse exhibited VSD in conjunction with an overriding aorta and accompanied by narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract and thickening of the ventricular chamber wall
|
• at E18.5, one mouse exhibited VSD in conjunction with an overriding aorta and accompanied by narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract and thickening of the ventricular chamber wall
|
• at E18.5, one mouse exhibited VSD in conjunction with an overriding aorta and accompanied by narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract and thickening of the ventricular chamber wall

growth/size/body
omphalocele
(
J:142875
)
• in some mice
|
• at E18.5, mice weight 70% of normal
|
cellular
• mouse embryonic kidney cells exhibit cilia that are two-thirds as long as on wild-type cells
|
craniofacial
• mice are usually born with open mouths and protruding tongue unlike wild-type mice indicating craniofacial anomalies
|
homeostasis/metabolism
behavior/neurological
• at birth, mice are inactive but occasionally convulse or grasp
