mortality/aging
• mutants are detected at the expected frequency at E9.5 and E10.5, but numbers decline thereafter and are greatly decreased at E18.5 and mice are born at a frequency much lower than expected
|
cardiovascular system
• embryos exhibit shortening of the outflow tract already at E9.5
|
• cell proliferation is reduced in the septum transversum, secondary heart field, and proepicardium at E9-E9.5 but is unaffected in the heart ventricle
|
• many mutants that survive to E18.5 exhibit double-outlet right ventricle
|
• many mutants that survive to E18.5 exhibit transposition of the great arteries
|
• many mutants that survive to E18.5 exhibit ventricular septum defects
|
small heart
(
J:313620
)
• smaller at E13.5
|
digestive/alimentary system
• many mutants that survive to E18.5 exhibit abnormal rotation of the gut
• gut is smaller at E13.5
|
embryo
• embryos show growth retardation at E9.5
|
• embryos show neural tube defects at E9.5
• cell proliferation is slightly increased in the neural tube at E9-E9.5
|
• cell proliferation is reduced in the septum transversum at E9-E9.5
|
growth/size/body
• embryos show growth retardation at E9.5
|
hematopoietic system
• many mutants that survive to E18.5 exhibit spleen hypoplasia
|
immune system
• many mutants that survive to E18.5 exhibit spleen hypoplasia
|
liver/biliary system
small liver
(
J:313620
)
• smaller at E13.5
|
nervous system
• cell proliferation is slightly increased in the neural tube at E9-E9.5
