Rprd2em1(IMPC)J/Rprd2em1(IMPC)J embryos are developmentally delayed, show impaired embryo turning, abnormal head shape, caudal neural tube kinks and incomplete cranial neural tube closure, abnormal heart morphology and abnormal yolk sacs.

cardiovascular system
• by E9.5, many homozygous embryos exhibit abnormal heart morphology

craniofacial
• by E9.5, nearly all homozygous embryos exhibit an abnormal head shape

embryo
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos are unturned or exhibit incomplete turning
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos are unturned or exhibit incomplete turning
• at E8.5, homozygous embryos appear relatively normal but are often delayed relative to control littermates (J:374598)
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos are delayed, some more severely than others (J:374598)
• however, all three germ layers are present at E8.5 and germ layer patterning is normal at E9.5 (J:374598)
IMPC - JAX (J:211773)
• by E9.5, nearly all homozygous embryos exhibit incomplete cranial neural tube closure, possibly due to the developmental delay
• by E9.5, approximately half of homozygous embryos show mild caudal neural tube kinks
• both at E8.5 and E9.5, a few homozygous embryos exhibit a circular tissue above their head folds, likely resulting from inappropriate resolution of the amnionic cavity
• at E9.5, placentas exhibit multiple labyrinth zone defects
• at E9.5, the Tfeb+ labyrinth trophoblast layer fails to expand, remaining a thin layer
• at E9.5, placentas exhibit a diminished Tpbpa+ spongiotrophoblast layer
• by E9.5, a minority of homozygous embryos exhibit abnormal yolk sacs
• at E9.5, Gcm1+ chorioallantoic branching is severely impaired
• at E9.5, placentas exhibit an abnormal chorioallantoic interface with a reduction in allantoic mesoderm and limited interface expansion

growth/size/body
• by E9.5, nearly all homozygous embryos exhibit an abnormal head shape
• at E8.5, homozygous embryos appear relatively normal but are often delayed relative to control littermates (J:374598)
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos are delayed, some more severely than others (J:374598)
• however, all three germ layers are present at E8.5 and germ layer patterning is normal at E9.5 (J:374598)
IMPC - JAX (J:211773)

mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos are present in near Mendelian ratios at E8.5 and E9.5 but absent at E12.5

nervous system
• by E9.5, nearly all homozygous embryos exhibit incomplete cranial neural tube closure, possibly due to the developmental delay
• by E9.5, approximately half of homozygous embryos show mild caudal neural tube kinks
