cellular
• early blastocysts/late morulas show apparent cell death after 3 days in culture
|
• blastocysts fail to form normal outgrowth colonies after 3 days in culture
|
embryo
• blastocysts fail to form normal outgrowth colonies after 3 days in culture
|
• early blastocysts/late morulas recovered at E3.5 fail to reach a morphological blastocyst stage after 3 days in culture
|
• in culture, embryos fail to hatch from the zona pellucida with apparent cell death

mortality/aging
IMPC - JAX
|
• homozygous embryos are recovered at slightly lower than expected Mendelian ratios at E3.5 (18% versus 25%) and appear to arrest/die prior to blastocyst formation; no embryos or excess resorption sites are observed at E7.5
