mortality/aging
• slight lethality between E10.5 and E16.5
|
• most homozygotes die within a few hours of birth
• about 10.6% of homozygotes born alive are morphologically and behaviorally normal and survive into adulthood
|
behavior/neurological
• difficulty suckling as determined by absence of milk in the stomach
|
skeleton
• higher density of chondrocytes
|
• delayed terminal differentiation of chondrocytes in endochondral bone
|
craniofacial
• failure of palatal shelves to grow and meet at the midline, possibly due to apoptotic cells
• at E14.5, mutants show increased apoptosis of epithelial cells on the surface of the palatal shelves and in the mesenchyme located at the base of the palatal shelves
|
cleft palate
(
J:40142
)
• observed in about half of live births
|
digestive/alimentary system
• failure of palatal shelves to grow and meet at the midline, possibly due to apoptotic cells
• at E14.5, mutants show increased apoptosis of epithelial cells on the surface of the palatal shelves and in the mesenchyme located at the base of the palatal shelves
|
cleft palate
(
J:40142
)
• observed in about half of live births
|
• increased apoptosis in the smooth muscle layer of the intestine
|
• about half of live births with inflated gastrointestinal tract
• 40% of live births with grossly shortened intestinal tract, independent of presence or absence of cleft palate
|
• may end blindly and open to the abdominal cavity
|
• at least partially absent in mice that die in the first day of life
• distal end may be open to the abdominal cavity
|
• often absent in mice that die in the first day of life
|
nervous system
• apoptotic cell death in the ventral midbrain is increased 2 fold at E18.5
|
• tyrosine hydroxylase is reduced in the ventral midbrain at E18.5
|
limbs/digits/tail
short limbs
(
J:40142
)
• short limbs at birth in those mice that die early
|
growth/size/body
• failure of palatal shelves to grow and meet at the midline, possibly due to apoptotic cells
• at E14.5, mutants show increased apoptosis of epithelial cells on the surface of the palatal shelves and in the mesenchyme located at the base of the palatal shelves
|
cleft palate
(
J:40142
)
• observed in about half of live births
|
cellular
• apoptotic cell death in the ventral midbrain is increased 2 fold at E18.5
