♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

embryo

incomplete rostral neuropore closure ( J:19818 )

• in half of embryos on day E13.5, parts of the rostral neural tube do not close properly

• on day E13.5 of gestation, anterior neuropore remains open and brain ventricles openly communicate with the amniotic sac

nervous system

incomplete rostral neuropore closure ( J:19818 )

• in half of embryos on day E13.5, parts of the rostral neural tube do not close properly

• on day E13.5 of gestation, anterior neuropore remains open and brain ventricles openly communicate with the amniotic sac

abnormal lateral ventricle morphology ( J:19818 )

• incomplete closure of anterior neuropore leads to collapse of the lateral ventricles at days 13.5-14.5 of gestation

exencephaly ( J:19818 )

• exencephaly involving hindbrain, midbrain, and most of forebrain is observed when rostral neural tube does not close

♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

mortality/aging

lethality throughout fetal growth and development, complete penetrance ( J:88412 )

• embryos die between E13.5 and E14

cardiovascular system

persistent right dorsal aorta ( J:88412 )

abnormal pharyngeal arch artery morphology ( J:88412 )

• various abnormalities involving the abnormal regression or persistence of branchial arch arteries are found in 4 out of 5 embryos

• in 2 out of 5 embryos regression of right arch artery 4 results in the abnormal origin of the right subclavian artery

abnormal sixth pharyngeal arch artery morphology ( J:88412 )

• in 3 out of 5 embryos the left arch artery 6 regresses resulting in loss of the ductus arteriosus Botalli

retroesophageal right subclavian artery ( J:88412 )

• in 2 out of 5 embryos regression of right arch artery 4 results in the abnormal origin of the right subclavian artery

• this abnormal origin of the right subclavian artery also involves abnormal persistence of a segment of the right dorsal aortic root

abnormal common carotid artery morphology ( J:88412 )

• the common carotid artery is abnormal in 3 out of 5 mutants with either unusual origins or persistent communicating arteries between the right common carotid artery and the subclavian arteries

common truncal valve ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and 13.5 the single outflow vessel is connected to the right ventricle through a primitive valve with four cusps

persistent truncus arteriosus ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and 13.5 all embryos (N = 7) have defective septation of the truncus arteriosis

• in 6 of the 7 no septation is found

• the persistent truncus arteriosis forms the origin of the pulmonary arteries and arch of the aorta

double outlet right ventricle ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and 13.5 the single outflow vessel is connected to the right ventricle

endocrine/exocrine glands

abnormal thymus morphology ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and E13.5 in 5 out of 6 embryos the major axis of the thymus has not rotated caudad and it does not descend into the thorax

abnormal thyroid gland morphology ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and E13.5 in 3 out of 6 mutants the thyroid was shaped abnormally, lacking one or both lateral extensions

absent ultimobranchial body ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and E13.5 the ultimobranchial bodies normally associated with the thyroid are not formed (4 out of 6)

absent thyroid gland ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and E13.5 in 3 out of 6 mutants the thyroid was reduced or absent

small thyroid gland ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and E13.5 in 3 out of 6 mutants the thyroid was reduced or absent

immune system

abnormal thymus morphology ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 and E13.5 in 5 out of 6 embryos the major axis of the thymus has not rotated caudad and it does not descend into the thorax

nervous system

open neural tube ( J:88412 )

• the rachischisis is located in the lumbo-sacral region and varies in size

• the posterior neural tube is closed in all cases

abnormal dorsal root ganglion morphology ( J:88412 )

• at E12.5 mutants have only the most cranial ganglia resulting in the presence of less than half as many ganglia as in wild-types

• no ganglia are detected at the level of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine

• the ganglia that are present are smaller than normal especially the most caudal ganglia

• the most caudal ganglia present sometimes consisted of two separate aggregates, one of large ganglion cells and one of small ganglion cells and satellite cells

abnormal spinal cord morphology ( J:88412 )

• the dorsal mantle layer of the spinal cord is reduced

craniofacial

abnormal pharyngeal arch artery morphology ( J:88412 )

• various abnormalities involving the abnormal regression or persistence of branchial arch arteries are found in 4 out of 5 embryos

• in 2 out of 5 embryos regression of right arch artery 4 results in the abnormal origin of the right subclavian artery

abnormal sixth pharyngeal arch artery morphology ( J:88412 )

• in 3 out of 5 embryos the left arch artery 6 regresses resulting in loss of the ductus arteriosus Botalli
