mortality/aging
• viable embryos are detected at E9.5, E10.5, and E11.5 and only 2 of 12 mutants detected at E12.5 are alive and no mutants are recovered at E13.5

muscle
• hearts show disorganization of developing myofibrils, sarcomeric disarray, and disruptions of A-bands at E10.5
• embryonic myofibrils are only rarely detected in cardiac myocytes and instead, thick myosin filaments together with I-Z-I brushes are widespread, and a few short sarcomeric formations with loosely packed A-band formations are detected
