Gmeb2em1(IMPC)J/Gmeb2em1(IMPC)J are small and developmentally delayed, show incomplete turning, mild caudal neural tube kinking, abnormal tail morphology, and abnormal head shape. A few show abnormal heart morphology. Yolk sacs are pale or abnormally vascularized.

cardiovascular system
• by E9.5, some homozygous embryos display abnormally vascularized yolk sacs
• by E9.5, a minority of homozygous embryos display abnormal heart morphology

craniofacial
• at E9.5 and E10.5, most homozygous embryos exhibit abnormally shaped heads

embryo
• by E9.5, some homozygous embryos display abnormally vascularized yolk sacs
• at E9.5 and E10.5, most homozygous embryos exhibit incomplete turning
• most homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed by E9.5
• by E10.5, a range of severity is observed but all embryos are delayed
• however, E8.5 embryos are largely indistinguishable from controls and initiate cardiac development as well as normal gut tube closure
• at E9.5, all homozygous embryos are smaller than control littermates
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos show mild caudal neural tube kinking
• 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, some homozygous embryos display pale yolk sacs
• at E9.5, Gcm1+ chorioallantoic branching is severely impaired
• at E9.5, placentas exhibit an abnormal chorioallantoic interface with limited interface expansion

growth/size/body
• at E9.5 and E10.5, most homozygous embryos exhibit abnormally shaped heads
• most homozygous embryos are developmentally delayed by E9.5
• by E10.5, a range of severity is observed but all embryos are delayed
• however, E8.5 embryos are largely indistinguishable from controls and initiate cardiac development as well as normal gut tube closure
• at E9.5, all homozygous embryos are smaller than control littermates

limbs/digits/tail
• at E9.5 and E10.5, most homozygous embryos show abnormal tail morphology

mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos are present in Mendelian ratios at E8.5 but absent at E12.5; approximately 1/4 of homozygous embryos are dying by E9.5

nervous system
• by E9.5, most homozygous embryos show mild caudal neural tube kinking
