mortality/aging

postnatal lethality, complete penetrance ( J:160568 )

• all mice die within 2 weeks of age

nervous system

increased neuron apoptosis ( J:160568 )

• at P5 and P9

abnormal sensory neuron morphology ( J:160568 )

• at P9, sensory neurons exhibit an increase in lysosome-like organelles unlike wild-type cells

• sensory neurons contain numerous large vacuoles unlike wild-type cells

decreased sensory neuron number ( J:160568 )

• at P5, 27% of sensory neurons are lost compared to in wild-type mice

• at P5 and P6, the numbers of TrkB+ and TrkC+ neurons are reduced compared to in wild-type mice

• at P9, only 44% of sensory neurons remain compared to in wild-type mice

• at P9, the numbers of TrkB+ and TrkC+ neurons are reduced compared to in wild-type mice

• at P9, the number of cRet+ neurons is moderately reduced compared to in wild-type mice

• during the early postnatal period, large-diameter mechanosensory and proprioceptive sensory neurons are lost unlike in wild-type mice

abnormal proprioceptive neuron morphology ( J:160568 )

axon degeneration ( J:160568 )

• at P9, proprioceptive sensory axon projections to the ventral spinal cord are almost completely degenerated unlike in wild-type mice

• touch sensory innervations of layers III/IV are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
