Mice are impaired in both basal synaptic transmission and hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP). Embryos manifest extensive thrombus formation in the placenta, resulting in placental dysfunction, intrauterine growth retardation, and fetal death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12832488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15753128, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18718479}. |
