mortality/aging
• homozygotes are present at the expected Mendelian ratios at E9.5 but die by E10.5

embryo
• homozygous mutant embryos are often abnormally positioned within the yolk sac
• at E9.5-E10.0, a subset of homozygotes exhibit incomplete embryo turning
• at E7.0, homozygotes display extensive twisting of the newly formed mesoderm along the proximodistal axis
• homozygous mutant embryos are often smaller than wild-type embryos
• by E7.0, homozygotes display extensive twisting of the epiblast along the proximodistal axis
• homozygotes display severe distortion of the embryonic region
• at E8.0, homozygotes exhibit absence of a recognizable allantoic bud; only a small allantoic rudiment is observed at E8.5
• by E9.5, three allantois phenotypes are observed: a balloon-like structure with peripheral blood-filled vessels; a dense structure filled with compact mesenchyme and small blood-filled sacs; occasionally, an allantoic rudiment that fuses peripherally and non-uniformly with the chorionic surface of the placenta
• at E8.5, homozygotes show overproliferation of chorionic tissue, as well as aberrant folding of the chorion within the exocoelomic cavity and defective proximal migration
• homozygotes fail to establish a functional placental connection
• homozygotes fail to form the umbilical connection to the placenta
• occasionally, an allantoic rudiment fuses peripherally and non-uniformly with the chorionic surface of the placenta
• at E7.0, homozygotes exhibit a localized outpocketing of the visceral endoderm at the posterior embryonic/extraembryonic junction
• despite ruffling of the visceral endoderm at E8.0-E8.5, the emerging AP axis is symmetrical, headfolds and somites form, gross visceral yolk sac morphology and mesoderm appear normal, and the node is clearly defined

reproductive system
• at E8.5, homozygotes show a significant reduction in the number of primordial germ cells
• 6 of 14 (43%) have no PGCs, 5 of 14 (36%) have fewer than ten and 3 of 14 (21%) have less than 25

cardiovascular system
• at E9.5-E10.0, a subset of homozygotes exhibit a distended pericardium

growth/size/body
• homozygous mutant embryos are often smaller than wild-type embryos
• at E9.5-E10.0, a subset of homozygotes exhibit delayed ventral closure

cellular
• at E8.5, homozygotes show a significant reduction in the number of primordial germ cells
• 6 of 14 (43%) have no PGCs, 5 of 14 (36%) have fewer than ten and 3 of 14 (21%) have less than 25

mortality/aging
• no viable embryos are recovered at E13.5

embryo
• second branchial arches are absent or severely compromised in their development
• third branchial arches are absent or severely compromised in their development
• in the most severely affected mutants, mesoderm is underrepresented
• expression of Nodal in embryos is disturbed in lateral plate mesoderm (LPM), showing compromised ability to activate left/right pathway in LPM
• at E10.5 and 11.5, the most severely affected embryos (~33%) are poorly patterned along the anterior-posterior axis
• in some embryos, rostral regions of CNS tissue are correctly specified, but cranial folds fail to fuse
• somites are misaligned and fragmented in a high proportion of embryos
• in many embryos, morphology is overtly normal except that allantois remains as a dense mass of tissue
• in some embryos the allantois is fused across the amnion
• some embryos at E7.5 display ruffling of the visceral yolk sac

cardiovascular system
• heart chamber patterning and specification is severely disturbed
• pronounced heart looping defects are observed in a high proportion of embryos
• in some embryos, there is inversion of looping direction
• in some embryos, looping is stalled, with heart tube remaining linear along ventral midline
• anterior-posterior patterning of heart tube is abnormal

nervous system
• in the most severely affected embryos, there is a spectrum of anterior defects; embryos show absence of anterior-most neural tissue by Fgf8 expression, whereas midbrain-hindbrain isthmus is specified
• most rostral regions of CNS are absent
• in some embryos, rostral regions of CNS tissue are correctly specified, but cranial folds fail to fuse

reproductive system
• at the 10-15 somite stage, mutants show greatly reduced numbers of primordial germ cells (PGCs) compared to wild-type (wild-type 80-100 cells)
• at 20-25 somite stage, there are 200-300 germ cells in hindgut in wild-type, most mutants lack germ cells and remainder (~40%) show 10-fold fewer cells
• in majority of embryos at the 20-25 somite stage, germ cells are absent

craniofacial
• second branchial arches are absent or severely compromised in their development
• third branchial arches are absent or severely compromised in their development

cellular
• at the 10-15 somite stage, mutants show greatly reduced numbers of primordial germ cells (PGCs) compared to wild-type (wild-type 80-100 cells)
• at 20-25 somite stage, there are 200-300 germ cells in hindgut in wild-type, most mutants lack germ cells and remainder (~40%) show 10-fold fewer cells
• in majority of embryos at the 20-25 somite stage, germ cells are absent
