cardiovascular system
• defect in the EMT of endocardial cells that normally generates cushion mesenchyme
• the outflow tract endocardial cushions are small and contain few mesenchymal cells
• the atrioventricular endocardial cushions are small and contain few mesenchymal cells
• 15 of 21 embryos at E9.5 display a single predominant ventricular chamber that connects to an outflow tract located toward the rostral side of the chamber; the predominant ventricular chamber is the left ventricle
• all embryos display marked myocardial hypoplasia, affecting both the compact and trabecular myocardium
• 6 of 21 embryos at E9.5 have a normal to mildy hypoplastic right ventricle, rest have severe right ventricle hypoplasia
• by E10.5, have large pericardial effusions
• cardiomyocyte proliferation is more severely reduced in the right ventricle than in the left ventricle
