|
• blastocysts fail to hatch from the zona pellucida with apparent cell death after 3 days in culture
|
|
• no epiblast cells are observed after 3 days in culture
|
|
• no primitive endoderm (PrE) cells are observed after 3 days in culture

IMPC - JAX
|
|
• normal blastocysts are present at lower than expected Mendelian ratios at E3.5 (15% versus 25%, n=33); no embryos or excess resorption sites are observed at E7.5
|
reproductive system
|
• blastocysts fail to hatch and form a typical outgrowth colony after 3 days in culture (no TE/PrE/epiblast)
