Ptk7chz/Ptk7chz mice exhibit multiple developmental abnormalities

embryo
• defects in the process of convergent extension
• defects in neural crest cell distribution
• the neural tube is open from the midbrain/hindbrain boundary throughout the spinal cord

nervous system
• defects in neural crest cell distribution
• the neural tube is open from the midbrain/hindbrain boundary throughout the spinal cord
• disruption of the arrangement of the stereociliary bundles on the third row of outer hair cells, a broadened region of OHC with four apparent rows of cells, plus additional cells external to the row of inner hair cells
• apparent fusion of the ninth and tenth cranial ganglia
• trigeminal ganglion appear enlarged and misshapen
• apparent fusion of the ninth and tenth cranial ganglia
• a shortening and skewing of the spinal cord

growth/size/body

vision/eye
• 52% of fetuses at E16.5 have a failure of eyelid closure

skeleton
• splayed vertebrae

limbs/digits/tail

hearing/vestibular/ear
• disruption of the arrangement of the stereociliary bundles on the third row of outer hair cells, a broadened region of OHC with four apparent rows of cells, plus additional cells external to the row of inner hair cells

respiratory system
• thickened interstitial mesenchyme with infrequent septation
• at E18.5, the lung lobes are highly misshapen
• at E18.5, the lung lobes are reduced in size

cardiovascular system
• connections between the ventricles and the great arteries are concordant, although the vessels are parallel rather than spiraling round one another
• a defect of double outlet right ventricle is observed, whereby both the aorta and the pulmonary trunk exit from the right ventricle
