Alg3em1(IMPC)J/Alg3em1(IMPC)J (-/-) embryos are smaller by E9.5 and and show developmental delay by E10.5, with abnormal head shape, and cardiac defects.

cardiovascular system
• by E10.5, many homozygous embryos show cardiac defects
• by E10.5, many homozygous embryos show abnormal blood pooling in the heart
• by E10.5, many homozygous embryos show abnormal blood pooling in the head

craniofacial
• an abnormal head shape is observed by E10.5

embryo
• homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed by E10.5
• however, germ layer patterning is normal at E9.5
• homozygous embryos are normal at E8.5 but sometimes smaller at E9.5
• by E10.5, homozygous embryos are overtly smaller than control littermates
• at E10.5, the loose mesenchyme surrounding the neural tube, esp. in the anterior portion of the embryo, appears less dense
• at E10.5, placentas exhibit multiple labyrinth zone defects
• at E10.5, the Tfeb+ labyrinth trophoblast layer is reduced in thickness but shows increased Tfeb (transcription factor EB) signal intensity, suggesting an increased density of Tfeb+ cells
• at E10.5, placentas exhibit an expanded Tpbpa+ (trophoblast specific protein alpha-positive) spongiotrophoblast layer
• although properly developed at E9.5, placentas show multiple defects at E10.5 which become more severe by E11.5
• at E10.5, chorioallantoic branching is severely impaired, as indicated by sparse Gcm1 (glial cells missing homolog 1) expression

growth/size/body
• an abnormal head shape is observed by E10.5
• homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed by E10.5
• however, germ layer patterning is normal at E9.5
• homozygous embryos are normal at E8.5 but sometimes smaller at E9.5
• by E10.5, homozygous embryos are overtly smaller than control littermates

limbs/digits/tail
• a minority of homozygous embryos show shortened tails by E9.5
• a minority of homozygous embryos show abnormal tail placement by E9.5

mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos are present in expected Mendelian ratios at E9.5 and E10.5 but absent at E12.5; all homozygous embryos are dying/undergoing resorption by E11.5

nervous system
• by E10.5, many homozygous embryos show abnormal blood pooling in the head
• an abnormal forebrain shape is observed by E10.5
