mortality/aging
• homozygotes die within the first day of birth
|
growth/size/body
• newborn homozygotes are slightly smaller than wild-type or heterozygous controls
|
• at P0
|
• at E17.5
|
nervous system
• at E17.5, the radial glia endfoot has detached from the basal membrane
|
• at E17.5, mutant brains show a neuronal migration defect due to a lack of laminin-binding glycans
|
• at E17.5, nuclear staining revealed defects in neuronal migration and laminar organization in the cerebral cortex
|
cellular
• at E17.5, the radial glia endfoot has detached from the basal membrane
|
• at E17.5, mutant brains show a neuronal migration defect due to a lack of laminin-binding glycans
|
• at E17.5, mutant brains exhibit abnormal basal lamina formation
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at E17.5, mutant brains exhibit hypoglycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan, indicating a lack of laminin-binding glycans
• laminin-binding glycans are not rescued by LARGE overexpression in mutant MEFs
• no differences in the expression levels of other dystroglycanopathy-associated genes are observed in brain
