mortality/aging
• no mice survive past P1
|
• decrease in frequency first seen at E15.5
|
cardiovascular system
• vascular integrity defects in internal organs; including the submandibular salivary gland and liver
|
• telangiectasia at E15.5 in some embryos
|
• in 50% of embryos at E18.5
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in most embryos at E15.5
|
limbs/digits/tail
• in most mice at E12.5, E15.5, E18.5 and P1 only on the forelimbs
• characterized by the absence of the most posterior digit (5); some mice also lack digit 4
|
• distal limb morphogenesis is defective in most embryos
|
• loss of posterior forelimb bud at E12.5
|
vision/eye
• decrease in the size of the slow cycling band of cells in the mucocutaneous junction region
|
• at E15.5 the projection of migrating periderm cells is severely diminished and remains incomplete at E16.5
|
• in about half of the mice at E18.5 and P1
|
nervous system
exencephaly
(
J:185554
)
• rare, at E15.5 and E18.5
|
embryo
• loss of posterior forelimb bud at E12.5
