mortality/aging
|
• incomplete penetrance
• whereas approximately one-third of males appeared healthy, others showed growth retardation, weakness, craniofacial defecfs, and died prior to weaning
|
craniofacial
|
• incomplete penetrance
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• varying degrees of penetrance observed
• all three pituitary lobes are present at birth
|
|
• varying degrees of penetrance observed
• altered development leading to the defects including disorganization and abnormalities of Rathke's pouch
• bifurcation of Rathke's pouch and the presence of extra Rathke's pouch clefts and linings
|
|
• increased necrosis and empty tubules in the most severely affected mice
|
growth/size/body
|
• incomplete penetrance
• some males showed decreased growth and general weaknesss, these mice did not survive to weaning
|
reproductive system
|
• increased necrosis and empty tubules in the most severely affected mice
|
nervous system
|
• dysgenesis observed in the most severely affected mice
|
|
• failure of the dorsal hippocampal commissure to cross the midline in the most severely affected mice
|
|
• the floor plate was expanded relative to that of wild-type

• bifurcation of Rathke's pouch and the presence of extra Rathke's pouch clefts and linings
|
|
• abnormal continuity of the intercerebral fissure with the third ventricle in the most severely affected mice
|
|
• the presumptive hypothalamus appeared thinner and shorter than that of wild-type embryos
