cardiovascular system
• all aortic arch patterning defects observed at E18.5 are attributable to a failure of the fourth pharyngeal arch artery (PAA) development evident at E10.5; the third and sixth PAAs appear normal
• the number of arteries scored as non-patent to ink (i.e. 'absent' fourth PAA) are significantly higher in double heterozygotes than in embryos heterozygous for Tbx1tm1Bld alone
• at E18.5, 18 out of 36 (50%) of double heterozygotes exhibit aortic arch patterning defects vs 27% of mice heterozygous for Tbx1tm1Bld alone
• three show A-RSA associated with a cervical aortic arch
• eight of these 18 double heterozygotes exhibit interruption of the aortic arch type B (IAA-B, occurring between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery) associated with a right aortic arch (RAA)
• eight of these 18 double heterozygotes exhibit interruption of the aortic arch type B (IAA-B, occurring between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery) associated with a right aortic arch (RAA)

• at E18.5, 14 of 30 double heterozygotes exhibit thymic hypoplasia and/or lobe asymmetry
