mortality/aging
• most mice die before 1 year of age
|
growth/size/body
• external facial appearance is different from wild-type mice at 5-6 weeks of age
|
• coarse facial features are seen at 5-6 weeks of age
|
large face
(
J:294717
)
• face is relatively larger than in wild-type mice
|
• the snout is more prominent
|
• mice are heavier from 4 to 11 weeks of age but after 12 weeks of age, wild-type mice become heavier
|
behavior/neurological
• physical activity declines around 25 to 30 weeks of age
|
craniofacial
• external facial appearance is different from wild-type mice at 5-6 weeks of age
|
• coarse facial features are seen at 5-6 weeks of age
|
large face
(
J:294717
)
• face is relatively larger than in wild-type mice
|
• the snout is more prominent
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• elevated CAG content is seen in a variety of tissues including the liver, lung, heart, brain, spleen, kidney and skin
• mice treated with a pseudotyped, recombinant adeno-associated virus vector encoding the human IDS gene show clearance of accumulated lysosomal GAG
|
• urinary GAG excretion is greater beginning at 4 weeks of age and is most prominent at 16 and 38 weeks of age
|
integument
limbs/digits/tail
• the articulation of the foot is restricted in the forelimb and resembles a clawed hand
|
• mice show limitations of the hind limb joint when the tail is pulled back at 7-8 weeks of age
|
renal/urinary system
• urinary GAG excretion is greater beginning at 4 weeks of age and is most prominent at 16 and 38 weeks of age
|
skeleton
• the articulation of the foot is restricted in the forelimb and resembles a clawed hand
|
• mice show limitations of the hind limb joint when the tail is pulled back at 7-8 weeks of age
|
cellular
• many foamy cells are seen in the liver, kidney, lung, heart, brain and lymph node extracts, indicating lysosomal storage
|
• lysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG)
• many foamy cells are seen in the liver, kidney, lung, heart, brain and lymph node extracts, indicating lysosomal storage
