Analysis Tools
mortality/aging
|
• around two thirds of those that survive past E12 die at birth
|
|
• about half of the homozygous mutant embryos die around E11 - E12
|
cardiovascular system
|
• at E10.5 inversion of cardiac looping is seen in mutant embryos
|
dextrocardia
(
J:89880
)
|
• at E18 some mutant embryos had meso- or dextrocardia
|
mesocardia
(
J:89880
)
|
• at E18 some mutant embryos had meso- or dextrocardia
|
embryo
|
• from E7.25 to E8.0 growth of nodal cilia is significantly delayed resulting in significantly shorter cilia in homozygous embryos
|
|
• at E10.5 inversion of embryo turning is seen
|
|
• markers that are normally expressed only on the left side are expressed on both sides
|
growth/size/body
|
• mutants are about two thirds the size of wild-type littermates at birth
|
|
• growth retardation increases as the mutant mice age with adults body weight being about half that of control littermates
|
|
• some surviving mutants have situs inversus
• at E18, some mutant embryos had situs inversus or incomplete inversion defect
|
cellular
|
• from E7.25 to E8.0 growth of nodal cilia is significantly delayed resulting in significantly shorter cilia in homozygous embryos
