mortality/aging
• mice die within days of birth
|
craniofacial
• at E18.5, subdural and subarachnoid spaces in the posterior fossa are enlarged compared to in wild-type mice
|
nervous system
• at E18.5, mice exhibit an increase in apoptotic neurons in the brain compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E15.5, mice exhibit milder brain defects than at E18.5

• at E18.5, subarachnoid spaces in the posterior fossa are enlarged compared to in wild-type mice
|
• cultured neuronal progenitor cells from E17.5 exhibit compromised synapse formation compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• cultured neurons exhibit fewer neurites and neurite branches compared with wild-type cells
|
skeleton
• at E18.5, subdural and subarachnoid spaces in the posterior fossa are enlarged compared to in wild-type mice
|
cellular
• in cultured forebrain cells, mitochondria are decreased in number, irregularly localized within the cell body, and heterogenously localized in large clumps in the neurites unlike in wild-type cells
