embryo
• posterior region of the body is greatly reduced at E10
• structures posterior to the forelimb buds are not formed (J:11933)
• anterior limb buds are directed dorsad rather than ventrad
• posterior limb buds are absent as the posterior region of the body does not develop
• neural tube is slightly irregular at E8.5 and by E9, is markedly irregular in the posterior end; neural tube is more affected in the posterior than anterior end (J:13018)
• exhibit asymmetry of the neural tube in the mid-region at around E9 (J:13018)
• neural tube sends out branches with secondary lumina and often the branch becomes larger than the primary neural tube (J:13018)
• in some embryos, the neural tube lumen is ruptured to the outside and is continuous with the amniotic cavity (J:13018)
• few cases show fusion between the neural tube and the gut in the posterior region (J:13018)
• abnormal folding and kinking of the neural folds at E8 that culminates in ectopic tubular epithelial structures lying ventral to the developing endogenous neural folds (J:59271)
• notochord is absent, except for fragments in early stages
• backward growth does not occur preventing organization of the posterior axis and emergence of the allantoic placental stalk
• somites appear normal at early stages but at later stages, they are reduced and by E10, somite tissue is almost absent (J:13018)

growth/size/body

craniofacial
• in a few cases, the head region, particularly the mouth, is malformed

limbs/digits/tail

nervous system
• no regular segmental dorsal ganglia are formed in E10 embryos although ganglion tissue is found
• neural tube is slightly irregular at E8.5 and by E9, is markedly irregular in the posterior end; neural tube is more affected in the posterior than anterior end (J:13018)

integument
• exhibit transient blistering of the dorsal epithelium, first seen at the time of the formation of the first few somites but is completely gone by the time the embryo has attained the second flexure
