vision/eye
• 75% of mutants surviving to weaning age display eye defects
• between days 12.5-17.5, 73% of embryos display eye defects
|
• 73% of mice at weaning show unilateral or bilateral microphthalmia
• unilateral or bilateral microphthalmia is observed in 59.6% of embryos analyzed between 12.5-17.5 dpc
|
anophthalmia
(
J:142649
)
• anophthalmia is observed in 16.7% of embryos analyzed between 12.5-17.5 dpc
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• embryos with normal eyes up to embryos with bilateral anophthalmia but with a normal telencephalon have an enlarged, bifurcated anterior pituitary, often connected to the oral cavity
• this is the type I phenotype, which is the single pituitary phenotype observed in these animals
|
• in embryos displaying severe craniofacial defects at 15.5-17.5 dpc, a defined pituitary gland can not be recognized at its normal location
• pituitary defects are fully penetrant
|
