mortality/aging
• born alive but die within minutes of birth
|
hematopoietic system
N |
• leukocytes are present in normal numbers in the periphery
• despite defects in erythropoiesis globin RNA expression is normal
|
• predominantly erythropoietic
• in liver
|
• peripheral blood smears are hypocellular and contain increased numbers of nucleated erythroid precursors including prorubicytes, rubricytes, and metarubricytes
• decrease in total blood count and red cell count
|
• large numbers of nucleated red cells are found in mice at E18.5
|
anisocytosis
(
J:146219
)
• increased red cell distribution width
|
• islands of hematopoietic cells are present in the bone marrow but are smaller and less cellular compared to controls
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• abnormal distribution of iron between serum and blood cells with a relative increase in the amount of iron found in the serum
|
• reduction in blood heme levels correlating to reduction in cellular iron levels
|
embryo
• embryos and neonates are 3 to 5 fold smaller
• reduction in size becomes visible after E14.5
|
growth/size/body
• embryos and neonates are 3 to 5 fold smaller
• reduction in size becomes visible after E14.5
