mortality/aging
• perinatal lethality
• mice delivered by caesarean section at E18.5 are present at the expected Mendelian distribution but die shortly after birth with signs of respiratory distress and cyanosis
|
craniofacial
• all fetuses exhibit craniofacial malformations, either complete cleft of the secondary palate or agenesis of facial structures including the snout and mouth
• 48.6% of embryos are mildly affected with craniofacial defects
• 28.6% of embryos are more severely affected with craniofacial defects
• 17.1% of embryos are the most severely affected with craniofacial defects
|
• basisphenoid bone is absent in severely affected embryos
|
• midfacial structures ventral to the dilated lateral ventricle are missing in severely affected embryos, while the tongue, lower jaw, and lower lip are present
|
• palate is missing in severely affected embryos, while the tongue, lower jaw, and lower lip are present
|
narrow snout
(
J:245546
)
• mildly affected embryos exhibit a characteristic narrow snout shape in combination with complete cleft of the secondary palate
|
