mortality/aging
• die within minutes of birth
|
homeostasis/metabolism
respiratory system
• slightly shorter
|
• lungs fail to inflate
|
nervous system
• olfactory bulb axons from E14 explants are not repelled by SLIT proteins
|
• highly defasciculated into small axonal bundles fanned all over the ventral side of the telencephalon, at E15.5 and E18
• a subset of axons originating from the lateral bulb are still present in the normal location
|
• at E11.5, commissural axons exhibit robust postcrossing trajectory defects with failure to project to the lateral portion of the funiculus and altered lateral and ventral funiculi ration compared with wild-type mice
|
cellular
• olfactory bulb axons from E14 explants are not repelled by SLIT proteins
|
• in culture, fewer E10.5 foregut cells migrate away from SLIT2 containing media
|
digestive/alimentary system
• mispositioning of the stomach in the thoracic instead of the abdominal cavity
• abnormal midline position detected as early as E11.5
• more prominent at E13.5 and disrupts the diaphragm
• located at the midline and protrudes through the esophageal hiatus into the thoracic cavity in neonates
|
• delayed separation of the foregut from the body wall
|
• short
|
muscle
• malformed
|
behavior/neurological
cardiovascular system
• fails to fuse by E11.5
