• Background Sensitivity: homozygotes exhibit perinatal lethality on a CD-1 background
|
|
• on a 129/Sv-enriched genetic background, homozygotes die at midgestation with resorbing embryos evident at E12.5-E13.5
|
|
• Background Sensitivity: homozygotes exhibit peri-implantation lethality on a CF1 background

embryo
|
• at E12.5-E13.5, the labyrinthine trophoblast cell number is reduced
|
|
• at E12.5-E13.5, the mutant spongiotrophoblast is significantly reduced
|
|
• at E12.5-E13.5, the labyrinthine trophoblast appears disorganized and hypoplastic
• in contrast, the organization and cell number of the trophoblast giant-cell layer is unremarkable
|
|
• at E12.5-E13.5, mutant placentas are smaller than wild-type
