N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• all homozygotes die within 12-18 hrs of birth with meteorism

vision/eye
• formation of the optic canal, which is contiguous with the presphenoid bone, is impaired

behavior/neurological
• shortly after birth, mutant pups are unable to suckle, as evidenced by the absence of milk in their stomachs

growth/size/body
• newborn homozygotes display a lateral shift of the maxillary shelves
• the palatal processes of the maxillary are absent or malformed
• the palatal processes of the palatine are absent or malformed
• the palatal processes of the palatine are absent or malformed
• newborn homozygotes exhibit a failed fusion of palate shelves
• newborn homozygotes display loss of the soft palate
• all homozygotes show an extensive cleft of the secondary palate without other craniofacial defects
• as a result, mutant pups fail to develop negative pressure in the oral cavity and are unable to suckle
• however, the development of Meckel's cartilage and extent of cell proliferation during palatogenesis are normal
• during palatogenesis, the tongue fails to descend and flatten to allow vertical-to-horizontal movement of the palatal shelves
• during palatogenesis, the tongue fails to descend and flatten to allow vertical-to-horizontal movement of the palatal shelves
• as a result, the tongue is abnormally shaped and partially located between the two palate shelves, physically obstructing the normal fusion of palatal shelves observed in wild-type mice
• homozygotes display meteorism i.e. an abnormally distended GI tract filled by pockets of gas and fluid within 12 hrs of birth
• the flatus first appears in the stomach, enters the intestinal tract, and eventually fills the entire GI tract

craniofacial
• formation of the optic canal, which is contiguous with the presphenoid bone, is impaired
• ossification of the presphenoid bone is defective due to secondary effects of the cleft palate
• the pterygoid bone is absent or malformed
• newborn homozygotes display a lateral shift of the maxillary shelves
• the palatal processes of the maxillary are absent or malformed
• the palatal processes of the palatine are absent or malformed
• the palatal processes of the palatine are absent or malformed
• newborn homozygotes exhibit a failed fusion of palate shelves
• newborn homozygotes display loss of the soft palate

digestive/alimentary system
N
• although newborn homozygotes exhibit an air-distended GI tract, no morphological or functional abnormalities are observed in the foregut

skeleton
• formation of the optic canal, which is contiguous with the presphenoid bone, is impaired
