mortality/aging
• mice die between E18.5 and birth
|
nervous system
• majority (58%) of nonglutamatergic Slc32a1-null neurons show no evoked response in striatal neuron cultures
• miniature inhibitory postsynaptic current (mIPSC) frequency and amplitude are either eliminated or drastically reduced in striatal neuron cultures
• in autaptic spinal cord neuron cultures, 88/108 neurons exhibit no IPSCs, while 20 neurons show responses that ar reduced 80% relative to wild-type
• glycinergic mIPSC frequencies recorded from spinal cord neurons are ~5% of wild-type; amplitude of glycinergic mIPSCs is reduced to 39% of wild-type spinal cord neurons
|
• transmitter release from GABAergic neurons in hippocampus and striatum is significantly reduced or eliminated in E17.5 neurons
• vesicular release probability of mutant neurons with detectable evoked IPSCs is reduced to 16% compared to 23% in wild-type neurons
• transmitter release from spinal cord neurons is also eliminated or drastically reduced
|
behavior/neurological
• at E17.5, fetal mice are completely immobile and stiff; lack of movement is also noted earlier at E15.5-16.5, suggesting lack of excitatory drive
|
craniofacial
• in homozygotes
|
digestive/alimentary system
• in homozygotes
|
muscle
• at E17.5, mice are stiff, likely as result of overexcitation
|
growth/size/body
• in homozygotes
|
omphalocele
(

• displayed by homozygous embryos
