N normal phenotype
muscle
• disorganized tongue muscle fibers at E14

mortality/aging
• die around the time of birth

cardiovascular system
• poor colonization of the outflow tract by cardiac neural crest cells at E10.5
• poor colonization of the outflow tract by cardiac neural crest cells at E10.5
• at E11 the outflow tract has a lower density of cardiac neural crest cells and these cells are disorganized
• however, septation occurs normally
• in some embryos
• malformed outflow tract valves in 90% of mice at E12

nervous system
• poor colonization of the outflow tract by cardiac neural crest cells at E10.5
• smaller and misshapen
• less affected compared to germline null mice

vision/eye
• fail to grow and close over the eye bulb at E17

skeleton
• boundary of ossification is abnormal
• severely malformed
• poorly developed
• severely malformed palatal cartilage in 33% of mice with less severe malformations in the remaining 67% of mice
• otic capsule cartilage is absent at E16 in 33% of mice and reduced in 66% of mice

hearing/vestibular/ear
• cartilage is absent at E16 in 33% of mice and reduced in 66% of mice

craniofacial

craniofacial
• palatal shelves are reduced in size in the posterior region where the soft palate forms
• complete absence of palatal bones in all mice
• reduced proliferation of the posterior palatal mesenchyme but not of the anterior mesenchyme
• disorganized in mice with submucous cleft
• complete cleft is seen in 81 of 170 mice with submucous cleft seen in the rest (89 of 170)
• in some mice the anterior palatal shelves are deformed and fail to elevate
• failure of bone formation in the hard palate domain
• disorganized fibers
• smaller with disorganized muscle fibers

muscle
• disorganized fibers

skeleton
• complete absence of palatal bones in all mice
• in mice with submucous cleft palate, anterior shelves elevate and fuse but expression analysis indicates that osteogenesis fails to initiate
• however, osteogenesis does occur in the parts of the maxillary bone at either end of the nasal passage
