mortality/aging
• although present at normal Mendelian ratios up to E9.5, homozygous mutant embryos are resorbed at E10.5, with no viable embryos detected at P0
|
embryo
• developmental arrest before E10.5
|
• embryos are developmentally delayed at E9.5
|
• accumulation of Cdkn2a (an inhibitor of cell cycle progression, also known as p19ARF) mRNA in the yolk sac at E9.5
