mortality/aging
• mutants die somewhat earlier than controls, with median and maximal survival of 603 and 734 days compared to median survival of 822 days for wild-type
|
nervous system
• do not observe any significant accumulation of the small proteolipid, subunit C of mitochondrial ATP synthase (SCMAS), in the brain at 1 year of age, however by 22 months of age, levels are slightly increased
|
cellular
• similar progression of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disease as homozygous Tpp1tm1Plob mice, however onset of disease occurs later
• disease phenotype at the end of life in this mutant is not as severe as in homozygous Tpp1tm1Plob mice or compound Tpp1tm1Plob/ Tpp1tm1.1Plob mice
