N normal phenotype

Cleft palate in the Eh/Eh neonate

mortality/aging
• die within 24 hours after birth

respiratory system
• newborns exhibit gasping respiration

homeostasis/metabolism
• newborns exhibit progressive cyanosis

craniofacial
• at E15.5, palatal shelves of the mutant embryos show impaired horizontal growth and fail to make contact and fuse
• no defects are seen in cell proliferation or apoptosis in the palate
• mice show a complete cleft of the secondary palate

digestive/alimentary system
• at E15.5, palatal shelves of the mutant embryos show impaired horizontal growth and fail to make contact and fuse
• no defects are seen in cell proliferation or apoptosis in the palate
• mice show a complete cleft of the secondary palate
• gastrointestinal tracts of mutant mice are often filled with air

hearing/vestibular/ear
• tympanic rings are shortened and deformed in neonates

growth/size/body
• at E15.5, palatal shelves of the mutant embryos show impaired horizontal growth and fail to make contact and fuse
• no defects are seen in cell proliferation or apoptosis in the palate
• mice show a complete cleft of the secondary palate
• gastrointestinal tracts of mutant mice are often filled with air
