mortality/aging
• mice die immediately after birth

nervous system
N |
• Schwann cell and oligodendrocyte development is normal
|
• at E12.5, fewer melanoblasts are found than in wild-type mice
|
• within the duodenum, localization of enteric nervous system cell bodies and overall organization of the plexus is slightly different than in wild-type mice
• within the jejunum, the enteric nervous system is composed of few cells and the plexus is not formed unlike in wild-type mice
• enteric nervous system cells are completely missing from the caecal level and beyond unlike in wild-type mice
|
• as determined by TH staining, the size of the sympathetic ganglia is reduced at E12.5 and E18.5 compared to in wild-type mice
• TH+ cells occupy a reduced area of the adrenal medulla compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E12.5 and E18.5, fewer Phox2b+ cells are detected compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E12.5 and E18.5, fewer neurons are found in the dorsal root ganglia compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E12.5, the number of glial cells in the dorsal root ganglia is slightly decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• at E12.5 and E18.5, fewer neurons are found in the dorsal root ganglia compared to in wild-type mice
• however, the number of glial cells at E18.5 is normal

endocrine/exocrine glands
• TH+ cells occupy a reduced area of the adrenal medulla compared to in wild-type mice
