mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: on a 129/Sv background, only 10% of pups are alive and only 3 of those survive past weaning, however on a mixed 129/Sv and Black Swiss background, 40% die perinatally and those that survive 3 weeks live into adulthood

cardiovascular system
• large atrial septal defects are seen in all adults and appear to arise from an absence or reduction of the anterior portion of the septum
• atrial septal defects are also seen in E16.5 embryos
|
• both atria are dilated
|
• variety of cardiac malformations seen, including a membranous and a muscular ventricular septal defect
|
• ventricles have a bulbous appearance
|
• thoracic cavities of some E16.5 embryos contain pleural and pericardial effusions
|
• instances of second degree atrioventricular block (failed propagation of an atrial impulse to the ventricles) are seen in 3 of 6 mice
|
• indicates a delay in the time required for atrial impulses to reach the ventricles (first degree atrioventricular block)
|
• long sinoatrial pauses (transient failure of atrial impulse generation) in all mice
|
• P wave is broader, however QRS complexes and T waves are not different from wild-type
|
limbs/digits/tail
• hypoplastic falciformis bones in the wrist
|
• phalangeal segments of the first forelimb digit are elongated
|
skeleton
• hypoplastic falciformis bones in the wrist
|
• phalangeal segments of the first forelimb digit are elongated
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• thoracic cavities of some E16.5 embryos contain pleural and pericardial effusions
|
• some E16.5 embryos are edematous with blood pooling in the extremities and the thoracic cavities contain pleural and pericardial effusions
