mortality/aging

embryo
• exhibit decreased cell proliferation in pharyngeal endoderm
• growth retardation at about E9.5
• exhibit decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis of splanchnic mesodermal cells that are immediately adjacent to pharyngeal endoderm at E8.75 or E9.5

cardiovascular system
• lack an outflow tract as indicated by marker analysis
• cardiac primorida at E8.75 resembles cardiac primordia seen in wild-type at E8.25, suggesting an interruption in heart development
• hearts are unlooped at E9-9.5
• exhibit significant reduction in the amount of atrial tissue
• hearts are misshapen at E9-9.5
• lack the right ventricle, although cells with left ventricular, A/V canal and atrial identities are present

digestive/alimentary system
• exhibit failure of exocrine cell differentiation in the dorsal but not the ventral pancreas

endocrine/exocrine glands
• rudimentary pouch forms at E9.5, small and primitive
• pouch cells are aberrant and fail to differentiate
• exhibit failure of exocrine cell differentiation in the dorsal but not the ventral pancreas
• cultured gut explants do not generate differentiated islet cells
• exhibit complete absence of islet (glucogon+) cells in E9.5 embryos
• dorsal pancreatic mesenchyme does not form

craniofacial
• exhibit decreased cell proliferation in pharyngeal endoderm

nervous system
• rudimentary pouch forms at E9.5, small and primitive
• pouch cells are aberrant and fail to differentiate
