cardiovascular system
• single common trunk
• incomplete septum unevenly dividing the outflow tract into one large and one small chamber
• cardiomyocytes fail to invade the outflow tract cushion at E13.5 and cardiomyocytes do not exhibit polarized cell projections

cellular
• ciliogenesis defects in MEFs
• only rarely do MEFs have cilia
• kinocilia are present but mislocalized
• MEFs display minimal membrane ruffling activity and often have unusually long and thin filopodial extensions that appear unable to disengage from the substratum
• impaired polarized migration of MEFs in a wound scratch assay
• decrease in the size of focal adhesion contacts and defects in cell motility and direction of cell migration in MEFs

digestive/alimentary system
• in some mice
• due to defects in septation of the oropharynx
• intestinal cysts

renal/urinary system
• decrease in the size of focal adhesion contacts and defects in cell motility and direction of cell migration in MEFs
• ciliogenesis defects with few cilia detected at E15.5
• in some mice

embryo
N
• motile cilia on the embryonic node are similar to controls
• septation defect with abnormal connection between the intestine and bladder
• ciliogenesis defects with fewer cilia present at E10.5

vision/eye

limbs/digits/tail
• central

hearing/vestibular/ear
• kinocilia are present but mislocalized
• hair cells are disarrayed with some of the chevron misaligned

nervous system
• kinocilia are present but mislocalized
• ciliogenesis defects with fewer cilia present at E10.5
• hair cells are disarrayed with some of the chevron misaligned

respiratory system
N
• motile cilia in the trachea airway epithelium are similar to controls
• due to defects in septation of the oropharynx

craniofacial
• in some mice
• in some mice

growth/size/body
• in some mice
• in some mice
