N normal phenotype
cellular
• glial differentiation at E15.5 is less prevalent in distal bowel tissues
• enteric neural crest cells show reduced sensitivity to growth factors/chemoattractants (GDNF and EDN3) present in the intestinal extracellular matrix
• average migration speed, and therefore travel distance, is almost halved in mutant leader enteric neural crest in ex vivo cultures, while directionality of migration is not affected, indicating a neural crest cell migration defect

digestive/alimentary system
• intestines show a colonization delay by enteric neural crest cells of vagal origin starting around E11
• a subset of mice, mainly males, exhibit aganglionic megacolon
• mice with megacolon exhibit bowel obstruction

embryo
• enteric neural crest cells show reduced sensitivity to growth factors/chemoattractants (GDNF and EDN3) present in the intestinal extracellular matrix
• average migration speed, and therefore travel distance, is almost halved in mutant leader enteric neural crest in ex vivo cultures, while directionality of migration is not affected, indicating a neural crest cell migration defect

growth/size/body
• mice with aganglionic megacolon are smaller, reaching about 74% of littermate weight

integument
• variegated pigmentation

nervous system
• mice with megacolon lack myenteric ganglia in the distal colon
• colonic aganglionosis is seen in both megacolon affected mice and non-affected mice of both sexes
• most mice exhibit aganglionosis in the distal colon, with males (90%) more affected than females (74%)
• glial differentiation at E15.5 is less prevalent in distal bowel tissues

pigmentation
• variegated pigmentation
