✦ Synopsis

Recessive mutant gene c in axolotls results in a failure of the heart to function because of abnormal embryonic induction processes. The myocardium in this mutant lacks organized sarcomeric myofibrils. The present study was undertaken to determine if developmental abnormalities were evident in other areas of the heart besides the myocardium. A detailed comparative survey of the structure of developing normal and mutant hearts, including the endocardium, its cellular derivatives, and the extracellular matrix, known as cardiac jelly, showed that in the mutant there are fewer than the normal number of endocardial cells lining the heart lumen, the number of mesenchyme cells is reduced, and the cardiac jelly area is greatly enlarged in the posterior part of the truncus adjacent to the ventricle.

## Abstract The Mexican axolotl, __Ambystoma mexicanum__, is an excellent animal model for studying heart development because it carries a naturally occurring recessive genetic mutation, designated gene c, for cardiac nonfunction.

Recessive mutant gene c for "cardiac nonfunction" in axolotls results in an absence of normal heart contractions in affected embryos due to a failure of myofibril formation. In the present study, the intermediate filament protein, desmin, is compared in developing normal and mutant hearts by means o
