Figure 2

R402Hmod/R402Hmod embryos show a severe neurodevelopmental phenotype which is not observed in R402Hwt/R402Hwt mice. (a–c) Representative coronal sections of E16.5 embryos stained with Nissl. Wild-type (+/+), heterozygous (R402Hwt/+) and homozygous (R402Hwt/R402Hwt) animals are indistinguishable. (a′–c′) Enlargements of the boxed areas marked in (a–c) showing no differences in cortical organization between genotypes. (d–f) Representative coronal sections of E16.5 embryos stained with Nissl of wild-type (+/+), heterozygous (R402Hmod/+) and homozygous (R402Hmod/R402Hmod) animals. Brain development is significantly impaired in homozygotes, leading to perinatal lethality. (d′–f′) Enlargements of the boxed areas marked in (d–f) showing a severe cortical disorganization in R402Hmod/R402Hmod embryos compared to littermates. Scale bars indicate 500 μm in (a) and (d), and 100 μm in (a′) and (d′).
