• severely affected mutants do not survive beyond E10.5, however moderately and mildly affected mutants recover from the phenotype, such that they survive to birth

cardiovascular system
• the outflow tract is elongated distally and physically displaced from the inflow region
• exhibit elevated proliferation of cardiomyocytes in the distal outflow tract

• severely affected mutants display elevated myocyte density and cellular hypertrophy in the left ventricle
• as early as E8, exhibit extension of looping
• at E9.5, hearts do not show a defect in the initiation and onset of looping as hearts loop to the right, however looping is abnormal, with a significant overextension of the heart tube
• as early as E8, exhibit expansion of the primary heart tube
• heart tube is displaced both ventrally away from the body and laterally
• exhibit defective left ventricle development, impaired left ventricle differentiation and expansion leading to severe necrosis
• in moderately affected mutants, the presumptive left ventricle is reduced in size but undergoes expansion
