vision/eye
• newborn mice display open eyelids
|
growth/size/body
• at E10.5, the number of proliferating cells in the first branchial arch mesenchyme is reduced by ~25%
• however, the number of apoptotic cells is not significantly increased at E12.5
|
• newborn mice exhibit severe facial hypoplasia
|
• a mild size reduction of the upper lip is first seen at E13.5
|
• an up-turned nose is first seen at E13.5
|
• newborn mice have low-set ears
|
embryo
• proliferation of neural crest cells is reduced as early as E10.5; however, these cells continue to expand and are capable of differentiating into cartilage and bone, esp. in the distal region of the maxilla and mandible, respectively

|
craniofacial
• all neural crest cell-derived skull components are severely affected
|
• all neural crest cell-derived jaw components are severely affected
|
• a mild size reduction of the lower jaw is first seen at E13.5
|
• in newborn mice, the length of the mandible is 73% of that in wild-type controls
|
• at E13.5
|
• newborn mice exhibit severe defects in craniofacial development
• surprisingly, no gross abnormalities are noted up to E12.5
