mortality/aging
|
• almost all mice die before birth, with a significant deviation from expected Mendelian frequencies first noted at E14.5
|
cardiovascular system
|

|
|
• circulatory failure
|
|
• common atrioventricular junction
|
|
• the aorta and pulmonary artery both originate from the right ventricle
|
|
• the mitral valve of E14.5 embryos is dysplastic

|
|
• a large ventricular septum defect connects the left and right ventricles
|
renal/urinary system
