mortality/aging
• at P0, mice die with air in their stomachs

digestive/alimentary system
• in some mice parts of the esophagus are thin or absent
• in mice without a tracheoesophageal fistula the esophagus is thinner than in wild-type mice and not squamous
• unlike in wild-type mice, esophageal tissue stains positive for mucus production markers
• in mice without a tracheoesophageal fistula the esophagus is thinner than in wild-type mice and not squamous
• in 60% of mice
• in 60% of mice, a dorsally located fistula, known as the distal esophagus, connects the undivided foregut/trachea with a tube leading to the stomach
• at E18.5, the fistula is composed of simple columnar epithelium that resembles normal trachea epithelium with some multilayered regions
• unlike in wild-type mice, the anterior stomach acquires posterior characteristics such as reduced keratinization, ectopic mucus cells and columnar epithelium
• BrdU incorporation of fistula esophageal epithelium is 7% of the rate observed in heterozygote controls and is similar to the proliferation rates observed in wild-type tracheal cells
• in mice without a tracheoesophageal fistula proliferating cells are found within the suprabasal layers of the esophageal epithelium compared to in the basal layers of stratified epithelium in control Sox2tm2Lpev heterozygotes

respiratory system
• in 60% of mice, a dorsally located fistula, known as the distal esophagus, connects the undivided foregut/trachea with a tube leading to the stomach
• at E18.5, the fistula is composed of simple columnar epithelium that resembles normal trachea epithelium with some multilayered regions
• at P0, mice exhibit labored breathing
