mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: mice are recovered at E10.5 unlike on a background lacking BALB/c where mice are not recovered after E9.5

nervous system
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit neural tube closure defects at both rostral and caudal levels of the body axis
• at E10.5-11.5, all homozygotes exhibit cranial neural tube closure defects
• at E10.5-11.5, 88% of homozygotes exhibit spina bifida
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit severe exencephaly

craniofacial
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit a 'split face' phenotype
