N normal phenotype
muscle
• untreated mutant embryos show impaired muscle precursor migration to peripheral muscles
• untreated mutant embryos display thin amuscular diaphragms that lack any visible striations indicative of muscle fibers
• a portion of mutant embryos exposed to a combination of nitrofen and bisdiamine on E8 develop defects in the left dorsolateral area of the diaphragm , indicating that diaphragmatic hernias can be induced independent of myogenic processes
• observed hernias cover 40-70% of one side of the diaphragm
• untreated mutant embryos display thin diaphragms
• at E18, untreated mutant embryos display underdeveloped limb musculature due to impaired muscle precursor migration to peripheral muscles

cellular
• untreated mutant embryos show impaired muscle precursor migration to peripheral muscles
