Genotype
MGI:5052381

tg1

• Allelic Composition: Tg(HTT*/EGFP)150Nn/0
• Genetic Background: involves: C57BL/6 * DBA/2

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

mortality/aging

premature death ( J:174269 )

• median survival is 32 weeks

• all die by 58 weeks of age

nervous system

abnormal nervous system morphology ( J:174269 )

• progression of neuropathology is less rapid compared to mice carrying Tg(HTT*/EGFP)190Nn

abnormal striatum morphology ( J:174269 )

• dense EGFP positive aggregates are detected mostly in the cytoplasm at 35 weeks of age

abnormal hippocampus morphology ( J:174269 )

• dense EGFP positive aggregates are detected mostly in the cytoplasm at 35 weeks of age

abnormal cerebral cortex morphology ( J:174269 )

• dense EGFP positive aggregates are detected mostly in the cytoplasm at 35 weeks of age

neuronal intranuclear inclusions ( J:174269 )

• a few dense EGFP positive aggregates are detected in the nucleus but most are localized to the cytoplasm in the striatum, cortex and hippocampus at 35 weeks of age

• aggregates appear in both the nucleus and cytoplasm at 4 weeks of age but nuclear aggregates gradually lose EGFP fluorescence with age

behavior/neurological

abnormal involuntary movement ( J:174269 )

• chorea-like movements

• show irregular, jerky involuntary head movements at about 16 weeks of age

limb grasping ( J:174269 )

• rare

tremors ( J:174269 )

• fine tremor with onset at about 9-11 weeks of age

ataxia ( J:174269 )

• progressive development of an ataxic gait that is severe and interferes with walking by 30 weeks of age
