behavior/neurological
• mice develop motor paralysis/motor neuron disease with later disease onset and slower progression than in transgenic mice with only the H46R mtuation; disease onset is on average at 407 and 364 days of age in males and females, respectively
• duration of disease is on average 40 and 62 days in males and females, respectively
• however, mice show normal performance on the rotarod up to 42 weeks of age and normal tibialis muscle fibers at 42 weeks of age

• mice do not exhibit a notable weight loss up to 42 weeks of age
