• in some cases the gallbladder is fused to the underside of the anterior diaphragm
• Background Sensitivity: around 14% of mice (10 of 71, age P28 to adult) on a mixed 129 and C57BL/6 background have congenital diaphragmatic hernia located directly behind the sternum in the ventral midline; hernias are not seen in mice on a congenic C57BL/6 background
• in severe cases the gallbladder and a pedunculated portion of the liver are found in the thoracic cavity

liver/biliary system
• in some cases the gallbladder is fused to the underside of the anterior diaphragm

endocrine/exocrine glands
• in some cases the gallbladder is fused to the underside of the anterior diaphragm

mortality/aging
• although present in normal ratios at E15.5/E16.5, heterozygotes are recovered at lower than Mendelian ratios at weaning; however, increase in lethality between E15.5/E16.5 and weaning does not reach statistical significance

N
• atrioventricular (AV) endocardial cushions show no significant alterations in mesenchymal cell density at E10.5; no ventricular septal defects are identified at E15.5

• although present in normal ratios at E15.5/E16.5, double heterozygotes are recovered at lower than Mendelian ratios at weaning; however, increase in lethality between E15.5/E16.5 and weaning does not reach statistical significance

cardiovascular system
• at E10.5, atrioventricular (AV) endocardial cushions are hypocellular with a significant reduction in mesenchymal cell density relative to wild-type and single heterozygous controls
• at E15.5, three of 8 (38%) of double heterozygotes develop VSDs, not observed in wild-type or single heterozygous controls
• at E15.5, two of 8 double heterozygotes develop perimembranous VSDs
• at E15.5, one of 8 double heterozygotes shows a muscular VSD
