• the rostral process of Meckel's cartilage fails to form at the distal tip, the tip is thickened and points downward
|
• Meckel's cartilage is truncated at E14.5
|
• nasal capsule is truncated and thickened, usually only on one side of the embryo
|
• due to impaired fusion of palatine bones
|
• palatal shelves form but do not elevate
