embryo
• increase in cell death accompanies reduction in neural crest cell numbers
• the streams of cells migrating towards the first and second branchial arches are reduced in size
• disruption of trunk migration with scattered migration pattern and loss of normal segmented migration
• in the trunk neural crest cells invade the posterior part of somites
• often smaller and hypoplastic
• in 12 of 21 embryos there is a severe reduction in the size of the first branchial arch
• selective reduction in cranial neural crest cells
• impaired differentiation
• GFP expression indicates that cells normally confined to the caudal part of the somite are present in the rostral part
• expression analysis suggests a defect in somite patterning
• expression analysis suggests a defect in somite patterning

nervous system
• selective reduction in cranial neural crest cells

craniofacial
• often smaller and hypoplastic
