N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• motor coordination and behavioral phenotypes are less severe when compared to phenotypes observed in mice carrying Mecptm4.1Brd and Mecptm5.1Brd
• onset of phenotypes is gradual as compared to mice carrying Mecptm4.1Brd and Mecptm5.1Brd
• decrease in latency to fall in 3-day accelerated rotarod-learning paradigm by day 3 as compared to controls
• increased time in open arms of elevated plus maze as compared to controls, but not as compared to Mecptm3.1Brd (WT-GFP) control
• increase in latency to fall in hanging wire test as compared to controls

growth/size/body

mortality/aging
• median survival is 42 weeks
