phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
nervous system
• abnormal compaction is not improved
• two types of abnormally compacted fibers are seen: rare fibers in which both the intraperiod and major dense line are absent and majority of fibers with myelin that appears compacted but has abnormal periodicity due to a wide (but not absent) intraperiod line
• myelin sheaths are thinner
• tomacular are readily seen at P28
• tomacula are not improved and are worsened
• hypomyelination is only slightly improved

behavior/neurological

muscle
• mice exhibit variable signs of muscle weakness such as clenching of the apws, dragging of hind limbs and floppy tail
• symptoms are least severe in this line

nervous system
• sciatic nerves show uncompaction of the myelin sheath
• sciatic nerves show tomacula
• sciatic nerves show hypomyelination
