mortality/aging
• mutants die shortly after birth
• homozygotes die at birth

reproductive system
• all mutant testes have reduced mesenchyme relative to controls
• testis growth, cord formation, and Sertoli and Leydig cell differentiation are disrupted in most XY gonads by E13.5-E14.5
• depletion of peritubular myoid cells in XY gonads
• two E13.5 XY gonads show impaired Sertoli cell differentiation
• disrupted testicular cord formation in XY gonads
• testis from phenotypically male mice has disorganized testicular cords
• Ledyig cell differentiation is disrupted in most XY gonads
• some gonads had disorganized cord development and depleted germ cell populations; all had reduced amounts of mesenchyme
• at E18.5, 2 of 24 homozygotes examined were identified as phenotypic males and showed testicular hypoplasia
• phenotypically male embryos exhibit epididymal hypoplasia
• at E18.5, one XY gonad displayed both epididymal-like and uterine tissue
• at E18.5, all 15 gonads from phenotypically female XY mice exhibited predominantly ovarian histology; however, 2 displayed occasional testis cord structures
• at E18.5, 22 of 24 homozygotes examined had grossly female internal reproductive organs, suggesting male to female sex reversal
• 10 of 14 phenotypic females were in fact genotypic males (XY)

respiratory system
• lungs exhibit overall reduced mesenchyme and reduced mesenchymal proliferation at E10.5-E11.5, however no differences in proliferation are seen at E13.5
• lungs display decreased branching of airways as exhibited by the absence of secondary branching of the accessory lobe at E13.5, dilated and unbranched peripheral buds at E12.5-E13.5, fewer small diameter airways at E13.5-E18.5, and fewer alveolar sacs than controls
• however, mutants do show significant distal airspace formation and pneumocyte differentiation
• mean weight of E18.5 lungs is 29% that of controls
• 100% penetrance of lung hypoplasia
• by 30 minutes after Caesarian section, mutants exhibit agonal breathing and cyanosis

endocrine/exocrine glands
N
• mutants exhibit normal pituitary development
• premature crypt-like structures occur in the small intestine of E18.5 embryos before the appearance of paneth cells
• all mutant testes have reduced mesenchyme relative to controls
• testis growth, cord formation, and Sertoli and Leydig cell differentiation are disrupted in most XY gonads by E13.5-E14.5
• depletion of peritubular myoid cells in XY gonads
• two E13.5 XY gonads show impaired Sertoli cell differentiation
• disrupted testicular cord formation in XY gonads
• testis from phenotypically male mice has disorganized testicular cords
• Ledyig cell differentiation is disrupted in most XY gonads
• some gonads had disorganized cord development and depleted germ cell populations; all had reduced amounts of mesenchyme
• at E18.5, 2 of 24 homozygotes examined were identified as phenotypic males and showed testicular hypoplasia

craniofacial
• about 40% of homozygous embryos exhibit cleft palate

digestive/alimentary system
• about 40% of homozygous embryos exhibit cleft palate
• absent cecal development, lacking both mesenchymal expansion and an epithelial bud
• cell proliferation in the embryonic cecum is reduced by 40% in epithelium and 47% in mesenchyme
• mesenchymal proliferation in cecal buds is significantly less than mesenchymal proliferation in the adjacent small intestine or colon, opposite of what is seen in wild-type
• there is a 35% reduction in the length of the small intestine at E18.5 compared to controls
• differences in length are first evident at E14.5
• lumen diameter is unaffected in these mice suggesting the length of the intestine is altered in one dimension
• premature crypt-like structures occur in the small intestine of E18.5 embryos before the appearance of paneth cells
• proliferation of fibroblasts found in the proximal and distal small intestine mesenchyme is significantly reduced between E14.5 and E18.5

cardiovascular system
• variable dilation of cardiac atria is observed at E14.5-E18.5
• variable dilation of cardiac ventricles is observed at E14.5-E18.5

growth/size/body
• about 40% of homozygous embryos exhibit cleft palate
• total mean body weight at E18.5 is 84% of controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• E18.5 pups can breathe initially, however they become severely cyanotic shortly thereafter

cellular
• lungs exhibit overall reduced mesenchyme and reduced mesenchymal proliferation at E10.5-E11.5, however no differences in proliferation are seen at E13.5
