mortality/aging
• occasionally pups are born but die within one day (P0)
|
• homozygotes die between E14.5 and E16.5
|
embryo
• cilia number is reduced in the neural epithelia in the neural tube
|
• mutants lack the floor plate in the neural tube
|
cardiovascular system
• 8 of 28 mutants develop with hearts that turn in a rightward rather than leftward orientation, indicating randomized heart looping

nervous system
• cilia number is reduced in the neural epithelia in the neural tube
|
• mutants lack the floor plate in the neural tube
|
• homozygotes exhibit holoprosencephaly as evidenced by incomplete separation of prosencephalon
|
cellular
• cilia number is reduced in all embryo tissues examined, including neural epithelia in the neural tube and mesencephalic vesicle, perineural tube area, and notochord
• cilia number is reduced in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

• cilia number is reduced in the neural epithelia in the neural tube
