• mice die after birth
• however, mice are present in normal Mendelian ratios at E18.5
|
skeleton
• mildly decreased ossification in the radius
|
• fragments of cartilage unattached to either the spine or sternum instead of a closed rib cage
|
• at E14.5 with lack of well-defined posterior vertebral elements
|
• fragments of cartilage unattached to either the spine or sternum instead of a closed rib cage
|
• little separation of vertebral segments and almost no ossification, particularly at the posterior end
