mortality/aging
• although homozygotes are recovered at E14.5 and E17.5, only one neonate with a functionally intact digestive system is found at P0 but dies after birth
• only one alive homozygous pup is obtained from heterozygous intercrosses at P7 (3% versus expected 25%); this pup was sick and small in size and thus sacrificed on P7

cardiovascular system
• at E14.5, all (4 of 4) embryos exhibit significant abnormalities of the cardiovascular system, as determined by high-resolution episcopic microscopy (HREM)
• at E14.5, all (4 of 4 embryos) show abnormal dilated head arteries in conjunction with thin vessel walls
• one E14.5 embryo shows complex malformations of the intrathoracic and cranial arteries, including a right sided aortic arch, a retroesophageal left subclavian artery, an abnormal external carotid artery running parallel with the internal carotid artery over a longer distance, abnormal topology of the left intracranial vertebral artery, a hypoplasia of the left stapedial artery, and a missing segment of the right posterior cerebral artery
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits a right sided aortic arch
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits abnormal origin of left external carotid artery
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits a missing segment of the right posterior cerebral artery
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits a retroesophageal left subclavian artery
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits abnormal topology of the left intracranial vertebral artery
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits a hypoplastic left stapedial artery
• at E14.5, one of 4 embryos shows absence of the ductus venosus valve
• at E14.5, one of 4 embryos shows an abnormal hepatic vein connection
• at E14.5, two of 4 embryos exhibit double outlet right ventricle (DORV)
• at E14.5, one of 4 embryos exhibits a perimembranous ventricular septal defect
• at E14.5, one of 4 embryos exhibits a muscular ventricular septal defect
• at E14.5, one of 4 embryos exhibits a bicuspid aortic valve

endocrine/exocrine glands

• at E14.5, one of 4 embryos shows abnormal thyroid gland isthmus morphology

hematopoietic system
• at E14.5, two of 4 embryos show abnormal thymus topology

nervous system
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits a missing segment of the right posterior cerebral artery

hearing/vestibular/ear
• one E14.5 embryo exhibits a hypoplastic left stapedial artery

immune system

mortality/aging
N
• despite a broad range of anatomic abnormalities detected at E14.5, mice exhibit normal prenatal and postnatal survival

cardiovascular system
N
• adult mice show no signs of thrombosis or vascular disease; blood vessels of different organs (including lung, liver, and spleen) and sections of the heart and aortic valves show no evidence of blood clots, anatomical abnormalities, or vascular defects at the cellular level
• at E14.5, four of 7 embryos show abnormal morphology of the head arteries or the vertebral artery
• at E14.5, five of 7 embryos show abnormal liver vasculature
• abnormal connection of branches of right liver and portal vein at E14.5
• at E14.5, two of 7 embryos show dual inferior vena cava
• at E14.5, one of 7 embryos shows telangiectasia

growth/size/body
• longitudinal weighting of a large mouse cohort under controlled conditions showed a trend for increased body weight at an age of 26 weeks for males and 38 weeks for females; in males, weight differences become significant at 62 and 66 weeks of age
