mortality/aging
• although homozygotes are present at normal Mendelian ratios at E10.5, only 5% (versus expected 25%) are found at E13.5 and no viable homozygotes are recovered at birth
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• pericardial bleeding is noted by E11.5
|
cardiovascular system
• at E10.5, areas of unilateral narrowing of the dorsal aorta are commonly observed
|
• at E10.5, cranial blood vessels show a severe reduction in truncal vessels connected to distal capillary networks
• at E11.5, venous vasculature is significantly altered with ectatic dilations noted in the head
• however, cephalic arterial vessels are normal at E10.5
|
• at E11.5, embryos exhibit abnormal venous vasculature with ectatic dilations in the head
|
• at E11.5, embryos exhibit abnormal venous vasculature with ectatic dilations in the head
|
• focal myocardial wall necrosis is noted by E11.5
|
• all embryos exhibit small hypoplastic hearts at E10.5 and at later stages
|
• at E10.5, hearts show a significant reduction in mRNA expression of two Notch target genes (Hey1 and Hey2), indicating altered Notch signaling

hemorrhage
(
J:230747
)
• embryos eventually develop widespread hemorrhages that are apparent by E11.5 and at later stages
|
• pericardial bleeding is noted by E11.5
|
• neural tube edema is followed by punctate hemorrhages starting in the head at E11.5
|
• at E11.5
|
nervous system
