mortality/aging
• 37% of mice are recovered between E12 and P0 versus the expected 50%
• 25% of the expected ratio of mice survive to weaning

embryo
• at E8.5 to E9, 50% of mice exhibit an allantois that is not yet fused to the chorion and that contains a densely packed mesenchymal core
• at E8.5 to E9
• at E8.5 to E9, 50% of mice exhibit an allantois that is not yet fused to the chorion and that contains a densely packed mesenchymal core

skeleton
• in 3 of 3 mice at E13.5 to P0

limbs/digits/tail
• 1 in 12 mice display polydactyly at a similar frequency as in Bmp4tm1.1Jlch homozygotes
• 8 of 12 mice exhibit forelimb postaxial duplications at a similar frequency as in Bmp4tm1.1Jlch homozygotes

cardiovascular system
• at E15 to E 17.5, 50% of mice exhibit a defect in closure of the membranous portion of the ventricular septum

vision/eye
• at E12 to P0, 13 of 22 mice have missing or smaller eyes

growth/size/body
• 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)
