nervous system
• at E12 and E14, neuron apoptosis is reduced 74% and 65%, respectively, compared to in wild-type mice
|
• significant loss of all sensory neuron types in the nodose-petrosal, geniculate and L4 dorsal root ganglion in homozygous mice
• no difference in the number of facial motor neurons or superior cervical ganglion neurons is seen compared to controls
• no difference in the number of midbrain dopaminergic neurons is seen compared to controls
|
• approximately half of the neurons are lost from the geniculate ganglion at E18.5
|
• greater than half of the neurons are lost from the nodose-petrosal ganglion at E18.5
|
• greater than half of the neurons are lost from the nodose-petrosal ganglion at E18.5
|
• approximately 20% of the neurons are lost from the vestibular ganglion
|
• approximately 15% of the neurons are lost from the L4 DRG at two months of age
|
integument
• retarded catagen progression; follicles are still in early or middle catagen at time points when controls are in late catagen
|
thick skin
(
J:53271
)
• skin thicker than in controls
|
cellular
• at E12 and E14, neuron apoptosis is reduced 74% and 65%, respectively, compared to in wild-type mice
