mortality/aging
• on a CF1-enriched genetic background, homozygotes die before E7.5; only 2% of homozygotes are obtained at E6.5

embryo
• at E4.5-E4.8, 6 of 32 homozygotes exhibit small, loosely arranged inner cell masses with no distinct endoderm
• at E5.1-E5.5, 13 of 61 mutant embryos are collapsed; by E6.5, 8 of 31 decidua lack an embryo and are filled with maternal blood
