mortality/aging
• about 80% of mice die within 1 day after birth
|
growth/size/body
• adult mice weigh only around 60% of controls
|
behavior/neurological
• newborns show an absence of milk in the stomach
|
• newborns exhibit an abnormal posture
|
limbs/digits/tail
• dropping forelimbs are seen at E16.5
|
• adult mice exhibit abnormally thin and pale soleus muscle
• adults show degeneration of the soleus muscle, showing rounded fibers, differences in fiber diameters, and presence of inflammatory cells
|
• tibialis anterior muscle shows loss of fibers and numerous immature or degenerating fibers lacking contractile material in newborns
• adult mice show tibialis anterior muscle degeneration
• in adult tibialis anterior muscle, fiber types are not clearly distinguishable and type II a fibers are rarely observed
|
muscle
• transcriptome analysis indicates aberrant fetal myogenesis
|
• non-necrotic muscle fibers lack a clear M-line
|
• transcriptome analysis indicates that the approximate onset of skeletal muscle defects is E15.5
|
• adult mice exhibit abnormally thin and pale soleus muscle
• adults show degeneration of the soleus muscle, showing rounded fibers, differences in fiber diameters, and presence of inflammatory cells
|
• tibialis anterior muscle shows loss of fibers and numerous immature or degenerating fibers lacking contractile material in newborns
• adult mice show tibialis anterior muscle degeneration
• in adult tibialis anterior muscle, fiber types are not clearly distinguishable and type II a fibers are rarely observed
|
• non-necrotic fibers exhibit defects including a low density of contractile material and the lack of a clear M-line
|
• unusually large muscle fibers are more frequently observed at E15
|
• number of tibialis anterior fibers is reduced by about 50% in adults
|
• hindlimb muscles show degenerating, necrotic fibers at E16.5 and in neonates
|
• adult mice show diaphragm muscle degeneration, with severe muscle fiber degeneration
|
• in adult tibialis anterior muscle, fiber types are not clearly distinguishable and type II a fibers are rarely observed
• however, all expected fiber types are seen in the degenerating soleus and neighboring plantaris muscles, although irregular fiber size is seen
|
• hind limb muscles (gastrocnemius, plantaris, tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, and quadriceps) show a reduced mass in adults
• muscle mass reduction is about 60% for tibialis anterior and about 30% for the other muscles
|
• mice show soleus, tibialis anterior, and diaphragm muscle degeneration in adults
|
• hindlimb muscles show degenerating, necrotic fibers, defective mitochondria, and abnormal glycogen accumulation in newborns and at E16.5
• soleus and diaphragms show muscle fiber degeneration
• however, gastrocnemius and extensor digitorum longus appear largely normal
|
• adult soleus and tibialis anterior muscles show abnormal collagen deposition indicating fibrosis in adults
|
nervous system
• neuromuscular junctions in the diaphragm of newborns and adults show defects of the synaptic membrane and an abnormal appearance, and reduced number of synaptic vesicles
• adult mice exhibit the presence of vacuoles at nerve terminals
