mortality/aging
• no live mutants are found beyond E11.5
|
cardiovascular system
• at E11.5 there is an almost complete absence of fetal blood vessels in the labyrinth and chorionic plate
• the primitive vascular plexis forms on the yolk sac but is not remodeled into an organized vascular network
|
embryo
• growth retardation is seen by E7.5
• growth retardation is more severe in hemizygous males compared to heterozygous females
|
• at E7.5 the ectoplacental cone is smaller compared to wild-type
|
• at E11.5 the demarcation between the labyrinthine and spongiotrophoblast layers is disrupted
|
• at E11.5 the labyrinthine layer is thinner than normal
|
• in hemizygous males the labyrinth layer is sometimes absent
|
• at E7.5 the chorionic placenta is smaller compared to wild-type
• at E11.5 mutant placentas are smaller compared to wild-type
|
• the chorionic trophoblast remains densely packed at the base of the placenta at E7.5 and contains more giant cells compared to wild-type mice
|
• at E11.5 the spongiotrophoblast layer is thinner than normal however the giant cell population is expanded and may form multiple cell layers unlike in wild-type mice
|
• the mesoderm and endoderm tend to separate resulting in a rough appearing yolk sac in mutants
|
• the number of blood islands is reduced in the yolk sac of mutant mice
|
• the allantois fails to invade the chorionic plate
|
• the primitive vascular plexis forms on the yolk sac but is not remodeled into an organized vascular network
|
growth/size/body
• growth retardation is seen by E7.5
• growth retardation is more severe in hemizygous males compared to heterozygous females
