mortality/aging
• median age of death is 12 months
|
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit better performance in the ability to escape a tail suspension than Hprttm2Detl or Hprttm6Detl mutant
|
• mutants exhibit a delay in onset of clasping behavior
|
• reduced nocturnal activity; mutants roam only 37% of the 2 minute periods during 12 hour dark cycles compared to 50% in wild-type mice
• inactivity in open cage
• age of onset is approximately 1 month later than observed in Hprttm2Detl mutant mice
|
• 4 of 15 mutants have seizures at 7-9 months of age; fewer seizures observed than in either Hprttm2Detl or Hprttm6Detl mutant mice
|
nervous system
• 4 of 15 mutants have seizures at 7-9 months of age; fewer seizures observed than in either Hprttm2Detl or Hprttm6Detl mutant mice
|
• neuronal intranuclear inclusions evident by 8-9 months of age
