mortality/aging
• most mice died by E13.5, although an occasional fetus survived to E18.5, putatively due to variability in the expression of cre recombinase
• peripheral edema that was often associated with pericardial effusion indicated that lethality was secondary to heart failure

cardiovascular system
• severe defects in the architecture of the brancial arch artery due to impaired remodeling
• variable branching and abnormal regression and remodeling
• only one pulmonary artery originates from the ductus arteriosis and the fate of the second pulmonary artery is not clear
• majority exhibited a proximal aortopulmonary window, in which the proximal aspect of the outflow tract septum failed to form
• the left carotid artery branched either from the right brachiocephalic artery in the most severely affected embryos or directly from the aorta in more mildly affected embryos
• interruption (type B) of the aorta between the left carotid and the left subclavian arteries
• growth was delayed and the cushions were hypoplastic
• cell proliferation is reduced in the cushion mesenchyme, relative to wild-type
• observed in all examined fetuses
• putatively due to a defect in the conotruncal mesenchyme
• hypoplastic semilunar valves
• peripheral edema that was often associated with pericardial effusion

homeostasis/metabolism
• peripheral edema that was often associated with pericardial effusion
• peripheral edema that was often associated with pericardial effusion

• AER is expanded and maintained much later (>E15.5) than in wild-type
• at E11.5, limb buds are noticeably broader relative to wild-type
• at E15.5 autopod adopts notched pallet form, with only distal tip of each digit separated
• autopod elements are reduced in size
• the two posterior-most digits are missing in the forelimbs
• in newborns, the digits of both forelimb and hindlimb show complete syndactyly
• in the limbs of E15.5 embryos, only the very distal tip of each digit is separated, with the autopod adopting the shape of a notched pallet
• mice have short and malformed stylopods
• one of the zeugopod elements is almost always missing, while the other is so deformed it is hard to accurately identify
• mice have short and malformed stylopods
• one of the zeugopod elements is almost always missing, while the other is so deformed it is hard to accurately identify

skeleton
• at 3 weeks, all mineralized cartilage in diaphyseal region has disappeared, leaving a void where bone formation should have occurred
• cavity formation is delayed
• loss of posterior digits in the forelimbs due to failure of chondrogenesis in this region as indicated by marker analysis
• joint articulations are defective such that the zeugopod and stylopod elements are fused
• 1-3 weeks after birth, no bone marrow cavity, trabecular bone, or cortical bone is present
• at 1-3 weeks after birth , bone formation is not observed in femur for example; skeletal elements in mutants remain similar to E17.5 structures seen in wild-type limbs
• in E17.5 limbs, delay in endochondral process is observed; bone morphology at birth resembles E17.5 in wild-type

cellular
• interdigital apoptosis is reduced at E15.5
