mortality/aging
• perinatal lethality
• mice delivered by caesarean section at E18.5 are present at the expected Mendelian distribution but die shortly after birth with signs of respiratory distress and cyanosis

craniofacial
• all fetuses exhibit craniofacial malformations, either complete cleft of the secondary palate or agenesis of facial structures including the snout and mouth
• 48.6% of embryos are mildly affected with craniofacial defects
• 28.6% of embryos are more severely affected with craniofacial defects
• 17.1% of embryos are the most severely affected with craniofacial defects
• basisphenoid bone is absent in severely affected embryos
• 2.8% of embryos exhibit agnathia
• midfacial structures ventral to the dilated lateral ventricle are missing in severely affected embryos, while the tongue, lower jaw, and lower lip are present
• palate is missing in severely affected embryos, while the tongue, lower jaw, and lower lip are present
• mildly affected embryos exhibit a characteristic narrow snout shape in combination with complete cleft of the secondary palate
• severely affected embryos exhibit a more pronounced midfacial clefting with agenesis of midfacial structures
• most severely affected embryos display proboscis (tube-like appendage representing the nose) or a single head-like protrusion devoid of any facial features

growth/size/body
• midfacial structures ventral to the dilated lateral ventricle are missing in severely affected embryos, while the tongue, lower jaw, and lower lip are present
• palate is missing in severely affected embryos, while the tongue, lower jaw, and lower lip are present
• mildly affected embryos exhibit a characteristic narrow snout shape in combination with complete cleft of the secondary palate
• severely affected embryos exhibit a more pronounced midfacial clefting with agenesis of midfacial structures

homeostasis/metabolism

nervous system
• absent of incomplete cleavage of the forebrain resulting in a continuous telencephalic ventricle
• severely affected embryos exhibit expansion of the third ventricle, associated with an increased volume of the lateral ventricle
• severely affected embryos exhibit increased volume of the lateral ventricle
• hypoplastic or absent olfactory bulbs
• hypoplastic or absent olfactory bulbs
• 1.4% of embryos exhibit atelencephaly
• hypoplasia of the lateral ganglionic eminences

respiratory system

• mice delivered by caesarean section at E18.5 show respiratory distress

skeleton

• 2.8% of embryos exhibit agnathia

vision/eye
• midfacial defects are associated with lens defects
• midfacial defects are associated with coloboma
• most severely affected embryos exhibit cyclopia
• mildly affected embryos exhibit ocular hypotelorism in combination with complete cleft of the secondary palate
• midfacial defects are associated with microphthalmia
• midfacial defects are associated with mono- or bilateral anophthalmia
