phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• animals exhibit 15-20% reduction in body size and weight

nervous system
• parafascicular nucleus (PFN) exhibits loss of 50% of all neurons, and nearly 100% of Fzd5-expressing neurons at 8 weeks
• neurons are present in normal numbers and show normal projections to the striatum at P1, then are gradually lost during the first postnatal month

behavior/neurological
• mice consistently show compromised performance in rotarod tests compared to heterozygous controls

vision/eye
• mice display slow retinal degeneration

nervous system
• PFN in adults displays nearly complete loss of alkaline phosphatase expressing Fzd5-null neurons by 10 days after 4HT injection and cre activation, but no loss is observed in Fzd5tm2Nat/+, cre-positive control PFNs 8 days after 4HT treatment
