mortality/aging

• a significant reduction in number of double-null embryos (5.5% vs 25% expected) compared to 3 other possible genotypic combinations results in earlier lethality than loss of either allele alone (~E7.5)

embryo
| N |
• double-null embryos are found at ~expected frequencies (~25%) at E3.5; embryos are detected in both the morula (~75%) and blastocyst (~25%) stages, indicating that deficiency of both Tcfap2a and Tcfap2c does not affect the zygote prior to E3.5;
• other genotypic combinations are all found at similar frequencies (~25%) at E7.5, indicating that loss of any combination of 3 of 4 wild-type Tcfap2a and Tcfap2c alleles allows embryo survival to ~E7.5
