embryo
• 91% of E14 homozygous doubly mutant embryos of dams fed a zinc-deficient diet (<1 ppm Zn) from day E8 are grossly abnormal
|
• of the abnormal embryos of zinc-deprived doubly mutant dams, the majority (54%) are severely affected, exhibiting craniofacial defects and dramatic retardation of both growth and development
• doubly mutant zinc-deprived E14 embryos classified as mildly affected, i.e., growth retarded with delayed limb development, often have formed no digits on the hind- or forelimbs

growth/size/body
• of the abnormal embryos of zinc-deprived doubly mutant dams, the majority (54%) are severely affected, exhibiting craniofacial defects and dramatic retardation of both growth and development
• doubly mutant zinc-deprived E14 embryos classified as mildly affected, i.e., growth retarded with delayed limb development, often have formed no digits on the hind- or forelimbs

limbs/digits/tail
• doubly mutant zinc-deprived E14 embryos classified as mildly affected, i.e., growth retarded with delayed limb development, often have formed no digits on the hind- or forelimbs

blistering
(
J:108627
)
• doubly mutant zinc-deprived E14 embryos classified as mildly affected, i.e., small with delayed limb development, often exhibit a dorsal skin blister; this effect is not observed in wild-type or either singly mutant zinc-deprived embryos
