mortality/aging
• homozygotes die between E9.5 and E11.5

cardiovascular system
• at E9.5, homozygotes display a poorly developed dorsal aorta
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit poorly developed intersomitic arteries
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit poorly developed pharyngeal arch arteries
• at E9.5, mutant yolk sacs contain only large vascular channels with few blood cells
• at E9.5, mutant yolk sacs lack large vitelline blood vessels
• at E9.5, homozygotes show failure of myocardial trabeculation
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit a poorly developed, stenotic outflow tract
• homozygotes display abnormal cardiac development after correct rightward looping of the heart tube
• at E9.5, the mutant AV canal remains wide open as opposed to displaying a narrow luminal diameter; the bulboventricular sulcus fails to form
• at E9.5, homozygotes display lack of endocardial cushion formation
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit a single ventricle that is abruptly connected to an abnormal outflow tract
• at E10.5, homozygotes display massive pericardial effusion

embryo
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit severe growth retardation
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit poorly developed pharyngeal arch arteries
• at E9.5, mutant yolk sacs contain only large vascular channels with few blood cells
• at E9.5, mutant yolk sacs lack large vitelline blood vessels
• at E9.5, mutant yolk sacs show abnormal separation of the endodermal and mesodermal layers
• at E9.5, mutant yolk sacs exhibit excessive surface folding

hematopoietic system
• at E9.5, mutant embryos are severely anemic relative to wild-type embryos

growth/size/body
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit severe growth retardation

respiratory system
• at E9.5 and E10.5, homozygotes display a defect in pharynx formation, with fewer endodermal cells detected in the pharyngeal floor and pouches

cellular
• at E8.75, homozygotes exhibit reduced proliferation of pharyngeal endodermal cells relative to wild-type mice

muscle
• at E9.5, homozygotes show failure of myocardial trabeculation

craniofacial
• at E9.5, homozygotes exhibit poorly developed pharyngeal arch arteries

homeostasis/metabolism
• at E10.5, homozygotes display massive pericardial effusion
