mortality/aging
• normal looking blastocysts are present at lower than expected Mendelian ratios at E3.5 (11% versus 25%); some excess resorption sites but no embryos are observed at E7.5

embryo
• limited or no primitive endoderm (PrE) cells are observed after 3 days in culture
|
• although blastocysts hatch from the zona pellucida and form outgrowths with apparent inner cell mass, limited or no trophectoderm (TE) is observed after 3 days in culture
