mortality/aging
• mice die at around 3 weeks of age (between P19 and P22) with high-frequency breathing

nervous system
• between P8 and P14, Schwann cell proliferation is increased
• the trigeminal and facial/acoustic ganglia are fused
• the trigeminal and facial/acoustic ganglia are fused
• the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves are in abnormal proximity
• the trigeminal and facial/acoustic ganglia are fused
• the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves are in abnormal proximity

behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit hindlimb coordination impairments that proceed to difficulties in muscular coordination and in positioning of hindlimbs and forelimbs by P17
• mice exhibit progressive posterior and anterior paralysis that leads to loss of locomotion by 3 weeks of age

respiratory system
• mice exhibit high-frequency breathing at around 3 weeks of age that leads to death

growth/size/body
• mice are slightly smaller at birth with different in size increasing during postnatal week 2 and by P15 mice are 80% of wild-type size and further deterioration afterwards

cellular
• between P8 and P14, Schwann cell proliferation is increased
