mortality/aging
• mice die within 72 hours of birth

nervous system
• more than half of mice exhibit mild or moderate hemorrhage in the lateral ventricle of the brain
• at E14.5, only sporadic proliferating cells are located in the basal ventricular zone and subventricular zone compared with wild-type mice
• at E16.5, proliferating cells are displaced from the ventricular surface and are present randomly in the basal ventricular and subventricular zone compared with wild-type mice
• decreased cell number at E16.5
• decreased cell number at E16.5
• nuclei lose their apical-basal direction
• clustering of the ependymal cells
• lack of lining ependymal cells inside the third ventricle, aqueduct and spinal cord central canal
• more than half of mice exhibit mild or moderate hemorrhage in the lateral ventricle of the brain
• neuronal cells lining the lateral ventricle lack apical membrane domain
• lack of lining ependymal cells
• lack of lining ependymal cells
• slight increase in cell numbers with disruption of cell polarization at E14.5
• flattened surface with hypoplasia
• abnormal orientation at E16.5 indicating a folding problem
• lacking ventricular and sub-ventricular zones
• E18.5 glial cells exhibit a fried egg morphology in culture unlike wild-type cells
• decreased apical neuronal progenitor cell numbers in the cerebral cortex at E14.5 and E16.5
• collapse of the central canal and lack of differentiated ependymal cells

cellular
• at E14.5 and E16.5, radial glial cell nuclei exhibit impaired interkinetic nuclear migration compared to in wild-type cells
• at E14.5, only sporadic proliferating cells are located in the basal ventricular zone and subventricular zone compared with wild-type mice
• at E16.5, proliferating cells are displaced from the ventricular surface and are present randomly in the basal ventricular and subventricular zone compared with wild-type mice
