omphalocele
(
J:108516
)
• in 9 of 18 mice at E13.5 to P0
|
• at E13.5 to P0, mice exhibit a variety of ventral body wall closure defects ranging from complete failure of ventral body wall fusion leading to the externalization of the viscera (in 5 of 18 mice), to umbilical hernia (in 9 of 18 mice) to the failure of sternal fusion leading to s split xiphoid process (in 3 of 3 mice)
