mortality/aging
• embryos die by E11
|
cardiovascular system
• at E9.5-10.5, mutants exhibit a reduction in microvasculature
|
• at E9.5, pharyngeal arches exhibit abnormally expanded mesoderm derived arch arteries, particularly in the first pharyngeal arch, giving it the appearance of being massively enlarged and hollow
|
• at E9.5-10.5, mutants exhibit dilated rostral arch arteries
|
craniofacial
• at E9.5, pharyngeal arches exhibit abnormally expanded mesoderm derived arch arteries, particularly in the first pharyngeal arch, giving it the appearance of being massively enlarged and hollow
|
• at E9.5-10.5, mutants exhibit dilated rostral arch arteries
|
embryo
• at E9.5, pharyngeal arches exhibit abnormally expanded mesoderm derived arch arteries, particularly in the first pharyngeal arch, giving it the appearance of being massively enlarged and hollow
|
• at E9.5-10.5, mutants exhibit dilated rostral arch arteries
|
• at E9.5, mutant embryos are one half to two-thirds the size of control littermates
|
growth/size/body
• at E9.5, mutant embryos are one half to two-thirds the size of control littermates
|
nervous system
• at E10.5, mutants exhibit only rudimentary neuronal differentiation within the cranial ganglia and a complete lack of neuronal differentiation within the midbrain
|
• in E8.5-9.5 embryos, the trigeminal ganglion is abnormally shaped and the Sox10 positive neural crest cell population within the forming ganglion is disorganized and dispersed rather than forming a tight coalescence as it does in controls
