mortality/aging
• die at birth
|
cardiovascular system
• at E15.5 and E18.5
|
• at E15.5 and E18.5
|
• thickened left ventricular wall at E15.5 and E18.5
|
nervous system
• decreased in the number of dorsal horn neurons at E18.5
|
• peripherally projecting neurons show darker stained shortened axons present through the midline region of the spinal cord with premature termination of axons
• axons projecting from the dorsal root into the dorsal horn are absent
|
• smaller population with a distinct lack of peripherally extending neurons
• medial motor axons, projecting towards the ventral root and midline, are absent
|
• dI3 cells often migrate in a more random direction compared to wild-type controls
|
• expression analysis indicates loss of dI4 interneurons
|
• expression analysis indicates loss of dI5 interneurons
|
• decreased in the number of dorsal horn neurons at E18.5
