mortality/aging
• embryos die at late embryonic stages
• loss of homozygous embryos is observed beginning at E14.5

growth/size/body
hematopoietic system
• numbers of mature erythroblasts (R4) found in E14.5 fetal liver are decreased
|
• numbers of immature erythroblasts (R2) found in E14.5 fetal liver are increased
|
• total fetal liver cell counts are decreased in E14.5 embryos
|
embryo
• E13.5 embryos are smaller and paler than wild-type
