mortality/aging
• mice are reported to exhibit perinatal lethality with no pups recovered at P0
• however, fetuses are found at Mendelian ratios at E15.5
|
craniofacial
• at E13.5, proliferation of mesenchymal cells is significantly reduced in the medial (oral) halves of the palatal shelves
• however, proliferative activity in the lateral halves of the palatal shelves is normal at E13.5
|
• at E15.5, bilateral palatal shelves are elevated into horizontal position but fail to meet in the midline
|
• at E13.5, the size of palatal shelves is smaller than that of control embryos in the anterior region
|
cleft palate
(
J:306308
)
• at E15.5, cleft palate is observed along the anterior-posterior axis
|
• at E14.5, palatal shelves remain in vertical position and are not horizontally elevated, unlike in controls
• however, vertical outgrowth of the palatal shelves is normal at E13.5
|
