mortality/aging
• 60% of mice die between P2 and P11
|
muscle
• skeletal muscle fibers exhibit defective nuclear positioning, anchorage, and mechanics compared with wild-type mice
• however, nuclear shape and perinuclear space are normal
|
• in 5% to 12% of myofibers compared to less than 1% of wild-type myofibers
|
• mice exhibit more variation in stress generated compared with wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
• postnatally, surviving mice weigh 20% to 25% less than wild-type mice
• at P21, mice weight 33% lower than wild-type mice
|
behavior/neurological
• at P1, mice have little detectable milk in their stomach unlike in wild-type mice
|
• at P7, P14, and P21, mice exhibit decreased exercise capacity compared with wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at P7, P14, and P21, mice exhibit decreased exercise capacity compared with wild-type mice
|
cardiovascular system
N |
• despite exercise capacity, mice exhibit normal heart function
