• not detected at E14.5
• at E11.5 and E14.5 expression analysis indicates that proximo-ventral cells in the presumptive retinal pigment epithelium possess neural retinal identity

• at E12.5 and E14.5 the optic stalk is open ventrally
• the ventral optic stalk is not detected by morphology at E14.5

mortality/aging
• only ~7% of mutant mice are born, indicating embryonic lethality probably due to vascular and heart anomalies resulting from ectopic cre expression

embryo
• by day 10 of pregnancy, formation of fetal blood vessels from the allantois is clearly absent
• at day 9 of pregnancy, but nor earlier, secondary TGC differentiation appears to increase because more cells are present
• by day 10 of pregnancy, many layers of secondary TGC are noted in mutant females relative to control animals
• at day 9 of pregnancy, the mutant uterus displays a reduced number of decidual sites with the absence of embryo or the presence of growth-retarded embryos
• by day 10 of pregnancy, mutant placentas show a reduction in spongiotrophoblast cell number relative to wild-type placentas
• by day 10 of pregnancy, the mutant labyrinth fails to develop
• at day 9 of pregnancy, but nor earlier, abnormal placenta development and frequent hemorrhages are observed
• by day 10 of pregnancy, the mutant labyrinth fails to develop

reproductive system
• mutant females display vaginal bleeding 10-12 days after the presence of a copulatory plug
• at day 9 of pregnancy, the mutant uterus displays a reduced number of decidual sites with the absence of embryo or the presence of growth-retarded embryos
• the circular smooth muscle layer of mutant uteri appears disorganized relative to that of wild-type uteri, as shown by anti-smooth muscle actin immunostaining
• in contrast, the mutant endometrium appears relatively normal
• mutant uterine horns appear shorter than those of control mice
• upon mating with wild-type males, mutant females exhibit a significant lower number of implantation sites per pregnant female than control females (5.3 2.4 vs 8.8 2.2, respectively)
• upon mating with wild-type males, mutant females display vaginal bleeding 10-12 days after the presence of a copulatory plug, indicating failure to maintain pregnancy
• at day 9 of pregnancy, most embryos are reabsorbed and a few are growth-retarded
• however, production of endogenous estradiol and progesterone remains unaffected in mutant females
• despite normal ovarian histology and function, mutant female mice receiving a wild-type ovary are unable to produce pups as observed before ovary transfer
• only 1 of 6 mutant females with wild-type ovaries gave birth to one pup in a 6-month period whereas wild-type females carrying mutant ovaries exhibited normal litter sizes with pups derived from the donor ovary

cardiovascular system
• by day 10 of pregnancy, formation of fetal blood vessels from the allantois is clearly absent
• mutant embryos with hemorrhage are observed
• mutant females display vaginal bleeding 10-12 days after the presence of a copulatory plug

homeostasis/metabolism
• mutant embryos with edema are observed

digestive/alimentary system
• altered radial patterning and anterior-posterior axis patterning of the stomach
• mesenchyme of the stomach was thickened at E16.5

• reduced size of fore-stomach as indicated by an anterior shift of the limiting ridge
• an anterior shift of the limiting ridge is observed
• the pylorus exhibited a disorganized thickened circular smooth muscle layer, with an epithelium that resembled the epithelium of the duodenum and was devoid of vacuoles, unlike the highly vacuolated control
• number of parietal cells increased in the thickened epithelial layer at E18.5
• thicker epithelium at E12.5, E13.5 and E18.5
• the fore-stomach epithelium did not show signs of stratification at E16.5 and resembled hind-stomach epithelium, indicating posteriorization of stomach

• the circular smooth muscle layer of the stomach was disorganized at E13.5, E14.5 and E15.5 and was thickened in both the fore-stomach and hind-stomach, suggesting that radial patterning of the stomach was perturbed
