Portm1Cbk/Portm1Cbk embryos either exhibit neural tube, cardiac, eye, and limb bud abnormalities or retarded development

mortality/aging
• homozygotes are present at the expected Mendelian ratios at E8.5-E10.5; however, the frequency of homozygotes declines thereafter and no homozygous embryos are observed after E13.5

embryo
• at E10.5 and E11.5, 90% of homozygotes are significantly friable and display embryonic abnormalities that can be divided into two classes
• Type I embryos are relatively well-developed but exhibit neural tube, cardiac, eye, and limb bud abnormalities
• Type II mutant embryos show a more severe, generalized retardation of development
• after ~E8.5, most Type II mutant embryos exhibit significant growth retardation
• at E10.5, most Type II mutants are turned but appear severely underdeveloped and small relative to wild-type embryos
• at E10.5, Type II mutant embryos exhibit a normal yolk sac but no identifiable embryonic structures
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos show abnormal size and positioning of the branchial arches relative to the fronto-nasal region
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos show a variable open neural tube phenotype, with hindbrain neural folds failing to elevate and fuse
• at E10.5, Type I mutants display failure of neural fold elevation and dorsal fusion, and eversion of the neural tube in the hindbrain and midbrain region resulting in a "ruffled" head morphology

growth/size/body
• after ~E8.5, most Type II mutant embryos exhibit significant growth retardation
• at E10.5, most Type II mutants are turned but appear severely underdeveloped and small relative to wild-type embryos

cardiovascular system
• at E11.5, some Type I mutant embryos exhibit a thinner myocardial wall while others display a thickened myocardial wall
• at E11.5, Type I mutant embryos exhibit abnormal development of the outflow tract, with little evidence of mesenchyme proliferation
• at E11.5, Type I mutant embryos exhibit impaired ventricular development
• at E11.5, Type I mutant hearts show a notable reduction in the development of ventricular trabeculae
• at E10.5, Type I mutants display an enlarged, fluid-filled pericardial cavity
• at E10.5, Type II mutants exhibit an observable heartbeat despite the presence of pericardial edema
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos display petechial hemorrhaging at the edges of hindbrain neural folds

homeostasis/metabolism
• at E10.5, Type II mutants exhibit an observable heartbeat despite the presence of pericardial edema

limbs/digits/tail
• at E10.5, Type II mutant embryos display delayed fore- and hindlimb formation
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos display a short tail

craniofacial
• at E10.5, Type II mutant embryos display delayed cranial development
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos show abnormal size and positioning of the branchial arches relative to the fronto-nasal region

nervous system
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos display petechial hemorrhaging at the edges of hindbrain neural folds
• at E10.5, Type I mutants display failure of neural fold elevation and dorsal fusion, and eversion of the neural tube in the hindbrain and midbrain region resulting in a "ruffled" head morphology
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos exhibit exencephaly

vision/eye
• at E10.5, Type I mutant embryos exhibit eye abnormalities

cellular
• Type I mutant embryos display a rough surface, consistent with increased friability, suggesting defects in cell adhesion and/or membrane structure
• no Type II embryos remain intact through the fixation process
• at E11.5, Type I mutant embryos exhibit increased apoptosis in the fronto-nasal region and the apical epidermal ridges of the limb bud

muscle
• at E11.5, some Type I mutant embryos exhibit a thinner myocardial wall while others display a thickened myocardial wall
• at E11.5, Type I mutant hearts show a notable reduction in the development of ventricular trabeculae

N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• heterozygotes are detected at a reduced Mendelian frequency at late gestational stages (E14.5-E18.5), indicating some embryonic loss
• at 2 weeks, heterozygotes are obtained at a reduced frequency of 56% vs the 67% expected for a 1:2 wild-type:heterozygote ratio
