limbs/digits/tail
• on the hind feet of embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother
• at E12 the base of the tail is constricted; the thickness of the tail itself varies
• at E13 the tail distal to the constriction is thinned
• by E14 the tail is thinned to a filament which often drops off resulting in a blunt-ended tail or tail rudiment
• shortened by varying amounts
• the only abnormality seen in older embryos
• varying degrees
• degree of thickness varies

reproductive system
• litters from carrier males and normal females are reduced compared to normal; litters from matings of carrier females and normal males are even smaller in size

homeostasis/metabolism
• embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother are edematous

growth/size/body
• characteristic of mice inheriting the Thp allele from their father

embryo
• at E10 the neural tube of the tail region is often doubled or tripled in embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother
• characteristic of some E10 embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father
• occurs at a low frequency among embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother
• at E10 the notochord in the trunk is poorly differentiated and characteristic of embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father
• at E10 the notochord in the tail may be absent, swollen, or duplicated in embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father
• at E10 the tail notochord may be absent in embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father

cardiovascular system
• inflation of the pericardium is seen in embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother

nervous system
• at E10 the neural tube of the tail region is often doubled or tripled in embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother
• characteristic of some E10 embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father
• occurs at a low frequency among embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother
• occurs in low frequency among embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their mother

skeleton
• may end abruptly before or at the level of the second sacral vertebra
• characteristic of embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father
• one or more may be incomplete dorsally
• characteristic of embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father
• frequently incomplete dorsally
• characteristic of embryos inheriting the Thp allele from their father
• frequently incomplete dorsally

cellular
• heterozygous offspring from carrier females and normal males are edematous and die before or at birth

mortality/aging
• when is Igf2rtm2Wag inherited paternally and Thp is maternally, some mice survive birth and reach maturity despite some prenatal lethality
• when the allele is inherited paternally, fewer than expected mice are born
• however, unlike when only Thp is inherited maternally, some mice are recovered at birth

limbs/digits/tail
• when is Igf2rtm2Wag inherited paternally and Thp is maternally, mice have a bent tail compared to wild-type mice

reproductive system

• when the allele is inherited paternally, mice are fertile

XY embryos doubly heterozygous for Map3k4byg and Del(17)Thp exhibit a range of defects of gonad development similar to Map3k4byg homozygotes

reproductive system
• testes exhibit regions lacking clear cord morphology unlike in wild-type mice
• at E13.5 and E14.5, XY gonads exhibit disruption in cord morphology or gonadal sex reversal

nervous system

endocrine/exocrine glands
• testes exhibit regions lacking clear cord morphology unlike in wild-type mice

reproductive system
• Background Sensitivity: XY mice of his genotype develop ovaries and/or ovotestes on a C57BL/6 background containing a Y chromosome from the AKR inbred strain
• Background Sensitivity: XY mice of this genotype may have an underdevloped scrotum and penis, and mammae-associated pigment which is normally a female characteristic
• some hermaphrodites breed but sire fewer litters
