mortality/aging
• most mice die around E10.5 and all mice are dead by E12.5
|
nervous system
• at E8.75, mice exhibit neuroectoderm that is splayed open with ectopic invaginations and an expanded floor plate unlike in wild-type mice
• however, dorso-lateral hinge points form
|
• expanded at E8.75
|
• 65% of mice display open neural tubes at 6 somite stage unlike wild-type mice
|
embryo
• 35% of mice display gastrulation defects characterized by abnormal posterior structures
|
• the anterior posterior axis is shortened and increased in width compared to in wild-type mice indicative of defective convergent extension movements
