mortality/aging
• heterozygotes are underrepresented at E17.5, indicating that a proportion of mice die during gestation
• fewer than the expected Mendelian ratio of mice is obtained, with only 1/3 of live mice being heterozygous post-weaning; mice are also underrepresented at P12 and E17.5, indicating that a proportion of mice die during gestation and shortly after birth
• Background Sensitivity: the percentage of heterozygous mice that die increases with subsequent backcrosses onto C57BL/6J or FVB/N; due to this increased lethality, reported phenotypes are on the second FVB/N backcross unless otherwise noted
• more male than female heterozygotes die or need to be culled on subsequent backcrosses onto C57BL/6J or FVB/N

growth/size/body
• Background Sensitivity: 3 of 8 mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit severe cleft palate, a defect not seen in E17.5 fetuses from a second FVB/N backcross generation
• 3 of 10 fetuses have unilateral choanal atresia at E17.5 in mice backcrossed 2 generations to FVB/N
• mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit choanal atresia at E15.5
• E8.5 embryos show a slight delay in development of about half a day
• E17.5 fetuses weigh 30% less on average than wild-type littermates
• however, E17.5 fetuses do not show delayed development

hematopoietic system
• low penetrance of ectopic thymus at E17.5
• low penetrance of hypoplastic ectopic thymus at E15.5 in mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N

embryo
• E8.5 embryos show a slight delay in development of about half a day
• placentas weigh 10% less than of wild-type, however the ratio of fetal weight to placental weight is 22% lower in heterozygotes

immune system
• low penetrance of ectopic thymus at E17.5
• low penetrance of hypoplastic ectopic thymus at E15.5 in mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N

craniofacial
• Background Sensitivity: 3 of 8 mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit severe cleft palate, a defect not seen in E17.5 fetuses from a second FVB/N backcross generation
• 3 of 10 fetuses have unilateral choanal atresia at E17.5 in mice backcrossed 2 generations to FVB/N
• mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit choanal atresia at E15.5

digestive/alimentary system
• Background Sensitivity: 3 of 8 mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit severe cleft palate, a defect not seen in E17.5 fetuses from a second FVB/N backcross generation
• 2 of 10 fetuses exhibit a small blind sac attached to the esophagus near the stomach at E17.5
• mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N have a blind sac arising from the esophagus at E15.5
• however, trachea-esophageal fistula or esophageal atresia are not seen and more severe esophageal defects are not seen in mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N

homeostasis/metabolism
• edema in the head at E17.5 which is associated with reduced brain volume
• mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit edema at E15.5

liver/biliary system
• smaller liver at E17.5

nervous system
• edema in the head at E17.5 which is associated with reduced brain volume
• mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit edema at E15.5
• E17.5 fetuses have on average a 24% smaller brain, with lower antero-posterior length, cortical width, and cortical thickness

renal/urinary system
• the smaller kidneys at E17.5 are abnormally elongated
• 4 of 10 heterozygotes exhibit smaller kidneys that are abnormally elongated at E17.5
• both left and right kidneys are 30% smaller
• however, kidneys are structurally normal

respiratory system
• 3 of 10 fetuses have unilateral choanal atresia at E17.5 in mice backcrossed 2 generations to FVB/N
• mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N exhibit choanal atresia at E15.5
• lungs are smaller at E17.5

skeleton
• mice commonly show fusions between the 3rd and 4th sternebrae
• mice commonly show rib defects of either small or absent 13th rib
• cervical defects include cervical ribs in P12 mice
• the 13th rib is sometimes absent
• fewer defects are seen in the thoracic region, with fused vertebrae or hypoplastic transverse processes
• however, no defects in sacral or caudal regions are seen
• fused thoracic vertebrae are seen, but to a much lower extent than for cervical vertebrae
• P12 mice exhibit cervical defects including absent vertebral elements, asymmetry of the midline, hemi- and butterfly vertebrae, cervical ribs, hypoplastic transverse processes and dyssymphysis
• P12 mice exhibit cervical vertebral fusions
• majority of pups have 5 lumbar vertebrae rather than the usual 6
• cervical and thoracic defects include hypoplastic transverse processes at P12
• cervical defects include hemivertebrae in P12 mice

endocrine/exocrine glands
• low penetrance of ectopic thymus at E17.5
• low penetrance of hypoplastic ectopic thymus at E15.5 in mice backcrossed 3 generations to FVB/N

cardiovascular system
N
• mice show no heart defects
