mortality/aging
• mice begin to die at P12 and fewer than expected are present at weaning
(J:171777)
• survival at P21 is less than in Rorasg homozygotes
(J:171777)
|
nervous system
• radial glia are abnormally distributed in the cerebellar cortex compared to in wild-type mice
• radial glia development is delayed compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at P4 and P8, cells in the external granule layer exhibit reduced proliferation compared to in wild-type mice
• however, proliferation is normal by P12
|
• at P4, granule cell progenitors exhibit reduced proliferation compared to in wild-type mice
|
• molecular layer interneurons fail to survive unlike in wild-type mice
• however, generation of interneurons and population of the molecular layer is normal
|
• rudimentary foliation
|
• the external granule layer persists until at least P20 unlike in wild-type mice
|
• Purkinje cells are multilayered and small with smaller and less compared dendrites compared to in wild-type mice
|
• with ectopic Purkinje cells
|
• thin with ectopic granule cells
|
• diminutive at P21
• at P21, cerebellar weight is less than in Rorasg homozygotes
