mortality/aging
• affected heterozygous mutant embryos exhibit embryonic lethality with excessive neuroepithelial apoptosis in the hindbrain
• however, no overt abnormalities are detected in live-born heterozygous mutant mice
|
nervous system
• at E10.5, affected heterozygous mutant embryos display excessive apoptosis of neuroepithelial cells in the hindbrain region
|
• at E10.5, a few heterozygotes exhibit an open neural tube
|
• at E10.5, 18% of heterozygous mutant embryos display an abnormal brain phenotype that is less severe than that observed in homozygous mutant embryos
|
• at E10.5, the majority of affected heterozygous mutant embryos display abnormal fore-, mid- and hindbrain development
|
• at E10.5, affected heterozygotes exhibit an underdeveloped and disorganized midbrain
|
• at E10.5, affected heterozygotes exhibit an underdeveloped and disorganized forebrain
|
• at E10.5, affected heterozygotes exhibit an underdeveloped and disorganized hindbrain with a collapsed roof
|
cardiovascular system
hemorrhage
(
J:70060
)
• some heterozygous mutant embryos display sites of hemorrhage at E12.5 and blood loss at E14.5
|
