• 80% of mice exhibit hypomineralization and/or splitting of the supraoccipital bone unlike wild-type mice
• mice exhibit reduced ossification of the parietal bone compared with wild-type mice
• in one mouse
• mice exhibit campomelia (bowing of the long bones) unlike wild-type mice
• at E18.5 in the hindlimbs
• in some mice
• in some mice

renal/urinary system
• at E18.5, the largest kidney cysts are found in the glomeruli and proximal tubules
• at E18.5, mice exhibit multiple kidney cysts unlike wild-type mice
• at E18.5
• medullary thick ascending limbs exhibit dilation of the epithelial tubules unlike in wild-type mice
• at E18.5, multiple segments of mutant nephrons dilate or undergo cystogenesis
• mice exhibit genitourinary defects unlike wild-type mice

nervous system
• floor plate cells are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• Background Sensitivity: fewer mice than on a C57BL/6 and C3HeB/FeJ background

liver/biliary system
• mice develop multiple bile ducts unlike in wild-type mice
• however, mice do not develop biliary cysts
• mice exhibit disruptions in the ductal plate and bile duct formation compared with wild-type mice
• mice exhibit a persistent ductal plate unlike wild-type mice

embryo
• nodal cilia are absent at E7.5 and sparse by E8.5 with variable length and morphology unlike in wild-type mice
• floor plate cells are reduced compared to in wild-type mice

reproductive system
• mice exhibit genitourinary defects unlike wild-type mice
• ovaries are sometimes displaced and exhibit abnormal morphology compared to in wild-type mice
• ovaries are sometimes displaced

respiratory system
• some mice exhibit variable fusion between the right lung lobes unlike wild-type mice

cardiovascular system
• 26% of mice exhibit partial looping
• the direction of heart looping is reversed in 36% of mice unlike in wild-type mice

cellular
• mesenchymal and epithelial tissues exhibit a reduction in the number of primary cilia compared to in wild-type mice
• however, lung cells and bile ducts in the liver exhibit normal cilia
• nodal cilia are absent at E7.5 and sparse by E8.5 with variable length and morphology unlike in wild-type mice
