renal/urinary system
• in most mice
|
• at E11.5 to E12.5, 16% of ureteric buds are absent, 40% show no branching, 19% exhibit retarded branching compared to in wild-type mice
• when kidneys form they contain reduced numbers and irregularly patterned ureteric bud tips unlike in wild-type mice
• cultured ureteric buds fail to develop unlike wild-type samples and samples containing only one to two mutant alleles
