• at birth, mutant hearts display a thin myocardial compact zone

• atrial septal defects are present at P0
|
• ventricular septal defects are present at P0
|
• at P0, echocardiography revealed a reduction in systolic function as determined by left ventricular fractional shortening
|
• at P0, echocardiographic M-mode tracings revealed a significant increase in left ventricular end systolic dimension (LVESD) relative to control mice
