N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• time of embryonic lethality is variable, with homozygous mutant mice dying between E9.5 and E15.5, as determined by visible heart beats or pulsing blood in umbilical vessel and necrotic signs
• few live embryos can be recovered until E14.5, but no embryos are found alive after E15.5
• no mouse embryonic fibroblasts could be established

embryo
• embryos are adherent to yolk sac membranes at E8.5, whereas wild-type embryos are easy to separate from membranes
• embryos are smaller in size by E8.5
• yolk sac membranes are opaque, unlike the translucent clear membranes seen in wild-type embryos

growth/size/body
• embryos are smaller in size by E8.5

cardiovascular system
• long-surviving embryos found alive at E14.5 show multiple hemorrhages

integument
• long-surviving embryos found alive at E14.5 appear pale
