phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• fewer than the expected numbers of mice are seen at weaning with 18% lethality; lethality is apparent at birth

growth/size/body
• defective tooth morphogenesis with abnormal root structures and hyperdontia
• abnormal root structures
• palatal shelves have not fused at E18.5
• adhesion and fusion of the secondary palate is stalled in a subset of E15 fetuses, appearing similar to palates of E13.5 wild-type mice
• severe cleft palate, with 15.4% of neonates exhibiting clefting

behavior/neurological
• newborns with cleft palate show absence of a milk pouch in the stomach

craniofacial
• defective tooth morphogenesis with abnormal root structures and hyperdontia
• abnormal root structures
• palatal shelves have not fused at E18.5
• adhesion and fusion of the secondary palate is stalled in a subset of E15 fetuses, appearing similar to palates of E13.5 wild-type mice
• severe cleft palate, with 15.4% of neonates exhibiting clefting

digestive/alimentary system
• palatal shelves have not fused at E18.5
• adhesion and fusion of the secondary palate is stalled in a subset of E15 fetuses, appearing similar to palates of E13.5 wild-type mice
• severe cleft palate, with 15.4% of neonates exhibiting clefting

integument
• mice exhibit alopecia with age
• mice exhibit ruffled coat with age
• dystrophic nails
• primary keratinocytes exhibit reduced proliferation and a corresponding increase in cellular senescence
• however, no major skin abnormalities are seen at E16.5 or P0
• primary keratinocytes exhibit reduced proliferation

limbs/digits/tail
• anomalies of the distal limbs

skeleton
• defective tooth morphogenesis with abnormal root structures and hyperdontia
• abnormal root structures

vision/eye
