Exencephaly and growth retardation in a subset of YY1+/− mice. (A) E13.5 littermates obtained from mixed-strain heterozygous intercrosses (129/Sv × C57BL/6) genotyped as YY1+/+ on the left and YY1+/− on the right. The YY1+/− embryo that is exencephalic with an open brain is shown on the right. (B) A coronal histological section (4-μm thickness) of the exencephalic YY1+/− embryo observed in panel A stained with hematoxylin and eosin as described in Materials and Methods shows pseudoventricles and asymmetry. (C) An entire litter of E10.5 mice obtained from a YY1+/− male crossed to a YY1+/+ wild-type female on the inbred C57BL/6 genetic background. The two smaller embryos in the right-hand corner indicated by arrows were genotyped as YY1+/− whereas the other embryos were either YY1+/− or YY1+/+.
