By E10.5 most Exoc3l4em1(IMPC)J/Exoc3l4em1(IMPC)J (Exoc3l4-/-) embryos are smaller, some are developmentally delayed, about half have abnormal hearts with some also having pericardial edema while others have cardiac edema. Embryos start dying around E11.5.

cardiovascular system
• at E9.5 and E10.5, placentas show an abnormally large accumulation of maternal blood adjacent to the labyrinth trophoblasts
• by E10.5, nearly half of homozygous embryos show abnormal hearts, some accompanied by cardiac or pericardial edema
• by E10.5, some homozygous embryos exhibit pericardial edema

embryo
• only a minority of homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed by E10.5
• however, all three germ layers are present at E10.5
• by E10.5, most homozygous embryos are smaller than control littermates
• however, most are normal at E9.5
• at E10.5, placentas exhibit multiple labyrinth zone defects
• at E9.5 and E10.5, placentas show an abnormally large accumulation of maternal blood adjacent to the labyrinth trophoblasts
• at E10.5, the Tfeb+ labyrinth trophoblast layer is markedly reduced
• at E10.5, Gcm1+ chorioallantoic branching is impaired
• by E11.5, placental defects are more severe than at E10.5
• however, placental development is largely normal at E9.5

growth/size/body
• only a minority of homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed by E10.5
• however, all three germ layers are present at E10.5
• by E10.5, most homozygous embryos are smaller than control littermates
• however, most are normal at E9.5

homeostasis/metabolism
• by E10.5, some homozygous embryos exhibit pericardial edema
• by E10.5, some homozygous embryos exhibit cardiac edema

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