mortality/aging

postnatal lethality ( J:104373 )

• mice die shortly after birth

craniofacial

short mandible ( J:104373 )

• lower jaw is shorter than normal

nervous system

absent Cajal-Retzius cell ( J:104373 )

• at E12.5, the neocortical zone shows a near complete absence of Cajal-Retzius cells

• at !3.5 and 15.5. the band of Cajal-Retzius cells along the marginal zone of the cortex is absent

absent choroid plexus ( J:104373 )

• at E12.5, the choroid plexus is almost completely absent

abnormal cerebral cortex morphology ( J:104373 )

• at E10, the cortical hem is almost completely ablated

• the caudomedial cortex is highly disorganized and shrunken; however, at E18.5, the layers of the rostral cortex are correctly ordered

skeleton

short mandible ( J:104373 )

• lower jaw is shorter than normal

behavior/neurological

abnormal suckling behavior ( J:104373 )

• newborn mice are unable to suckle

nervous system

abnormal cortical marginal zone morphology ( J:104373 )

• numbers of Cajal-Retzius cells in neocortical layer are greatly reduced and remaining cells are dispersed

decreased Cajal-Retzius cell number ( J:104373 )

• numbers of Cajal-Retzius cells in neocortical layer are greatly reduced

abnormal cerebral cortex morphology ( J:104373 )

• cortical hem is present, but smaller than normal
