Expanded spongiotrophoblast layer in Plac1tm1(KOMP)Vlcg/Plac1+ and Plac1tm1(KOMP)Vlcg/Plac1tm1(KOMP)Vlcg placenta

mortality/aging
• no females found (only 3 litters examined)

embryo
• at all time points examined compared to wild-type controls
• however, weight is less than that of heterozygous mice with a maternally inherited allele at E15.5 and E16.5
• continue to increase in weight after E16.5

Placentomegaly and intrauterine growth retardation in Plac1tm1(KOMP)Vlcg/Plac1+ mice

embryo
• when the allele is inherited from the mother the embryos are about 10% smaller compared to wild-type mice at E16.5
• when the allele is inherited from the mother
• when the allele is inherited from the mother the junctional zone is expanded and encroaches into the labyrinth
• however, when the allele is inherited from the father the placenta is similar in morphology to wild-type controls
• expanded when the allele is inherited from the mother
• when the allele is inherited from the mother the placenta is about twice the size of wild-type placenta at E16.5
• however, when the allele is inherited from the father the placenta is similar in size to wild-type controls
• from E14.5 - E18.5 when the allele is inherited from the mother
• display accelerated weight gain between E12.5 and E14.5 when the allele is inherited from the mother

cellular
• abnormal phenotypes are seen when the allele is inherited maternally

growth/size/body
• when the allele is inherited from the mother the embryos are about 10% smaller compared to wild-type mice at E16.5
