mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos are recovered at lower than expected Mendelian ratios at E7.5 (18% versus 25%) and arrest prior to gastrulation
|
• no homozygous embryos are recovered at E9.5
|
embryo
• embryos arrest prior to gastrulation
|
• at E7.5, embryos are developmentally delayed (~E6.0 size)
• however, many phospho-histoneH3 (PH3)-positive dividing cells are present
|
• no Brachyury (T)-positive cells are observed at E7.5, suggesting failure to initiate primitive streak formation
|
• at E7.5, extraembryonic tissues are poorly organized
