cardiovascular system
• by E9.5, the yolk sacs of many homozygous embryos lack proper vascular development
• by E10.5, all homozygous embryos exhibit an abnormal heart shape

craniofacial
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos exhibit branchial arch/pouch defects
• some older E8.5 homozygous embryos exhibit an abnormally shaped head, while most are relatively normal at E8.5
• at E9.5, nearly all have abnormally shaped heads; by E10.5, all exhibit abnormal head shapes

embryo
• by E9.5, the yolk sacs of many homozygous embryos lack proper vascular development
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos exhibit branchial arch/pouch defects
• by E9.5, half of the homozygous embryos exhibit turning defects (J:374598)
IMPC - JAX (J:211773)
• at E9.5, many homozygous embryos remain incompletely turned, although the gut tube has closed and the liver bud has initiated formation
• by E10.5, most homozygous embryos display incomplete turning
• at E9.5, slightly less than half of the homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed; by E10.5, all exhibit an overall delay relative to control littermates (J:374598)
• however, all have initiated normal heart, foregut and neural tube development at E8.5, and all germ layers are formed at E9.5 (J:374598)
IMPC - JAX (J:211773)
• by E9.5, all homozygous embryos are smaller than control littermates
• by E9.5, half of the homozygous embryos exhibit incomplete cranial neural tube closure
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos exhibit branchial arch/pouch defects
• at E9.5, all placentas exhibit an expanded Tpbpa+ spongiotrophoblast layer
• however, the labyrinth zone develops normally

growth/size/body
• some older E8.5 homozygous embryos exhibit an abnormally shaped head, while most are relatively normal at E8.5
• at E9.5, nearly all have abnormally shaped heads; by E10.5, all exhibit abnormal head shapes
• at E9.5, slightly less than half of the homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed; by E10.5, all exhibit an overall delay relative to control littermates (J:374598)
• however, all have initiated normal heart, foregut and neural tube development at E8.5, and all germ layers are formed at E9.5 (J:374598)
IMPC - JAX (J:211773)
• by E9.5, all homozygous embryos are smaller than control littermates

limbs/digits/tail
• by E10.5, most homozygous embryos exhibit abnormal tail shape

mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos are present in Mendelian ratios at E8.5 and E9.5, but are underrepresented at E10.5 and absent at E12.5

nervous system
• by E9.5, half of the homozygous embryos exhibit incomplete cranial neural tube closure
