mortality/aging
• only half of mice born survive passed weaning
|
• only 13% of the expected 25% survive between P0 and P1
• cyanotic mice die within 15 minutes of birth
|
cardiovascular system
• widened
|
behavior/neurological
• at 7 months, mice exhibit poor grooming as evidenced by scruffy coat and ocular conjunctivitis
|
• female mice are uncoordinated on a rotarod compared to wild-type mice
|
paraparesis
(
J:144757
)
• female mice exhibit hind limb weakness unlike wild-type mice
• at 7 months, older male and female mice exhibit limb weakness and stiffness that limits their range of motion
|
respiratory system
small lung
(
J:144757
)
• in mice that die immediately after birth
|
atelectasis
(
J:144757
)
• lungs fail to inflate in mice that die immediately after birth
|
skeleton
• at 7 months
|
muscle
• as in patients with Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, mice exhibit muscles that have centrally localized nuclei, smaller sized muscle fibers, and greater variation of fiber size compared to wild-type muscle
|
growth/size/body
• mice are small at birth compared to wild-type mice
|
• in adult female and aged male mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
immune system
• at 7 months, mice exhibit poor grooming as evidenced by scruffy coat and ocular conjunctivitis
|
vision/eye
• at 7 months, mice exhibit poor grooming as evidenced by scruffy coat and ocular conjunctivitis
