Embryos show severe vascular defects in embryo, yolk sac and placenta. Capillaries are abnormally dilated in embryos and yolk sacs and cannot be remodeled into large blood vessels or intricate networks. The embryonic vessels fail to invade the labyrinthine layer of placenta, which impair the embryonic-maternal vascular connection. Defects are not caused by the extraembryonic tissues. Impaired H3K36me3, but not H3K36me2 or H3K36me1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20133625}. |
