embryo
abnormal neural tube morphology ( J:87948 )
• phenotype is similar to that of Gli2tm1Alj mutant embryos, indicating that a low level of Gli3 is not enough to substitute for Gli2
absent floor plate ( J:87948 )
• absence of floor plate cells throughout the anterior/posterior (A/P) axis of the spinal cord
