nervous system
• conditional mutants display neuron loss in the superior cervical ganglion (SCG), similar to that described in germline Egr3 mutants
|
• peripheral sympathetic target tissue innervation is abnormal in conditional mutants, closely resembling defects described in germline Egr3 mutants; innervation to the heart, spleen, kidney, and pineal gland is reduced
|
vision/eye
• sympathetic nervous system abnormalities like blepharoptosis are evident in conditional mutants, similar to defects described in germline Egr3 mutants
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• mice lack the scoliosis and gait ataxia observed in Egr3 germline mutants
