mortality/aging
• none survive past 12 weeks of age
• treatment with sodium fumarate dibasic or Mdivi-1 (a specific Dnm1l inhibitor) to target mitochondria substantially prolongs the survival of the mice

cardiovascular system
• severe abnormalities in myofibril/sarcomere organization and intramitochondrial structure at 8 weeks of age
• at 8 weeks of age cristae malformations, electron-dense inclusions and hypodense compartments are seen
• at 8 weeks of age the number of mitochondria is increased and the size is decreased
• despite the increase in number of mitochondria the amount of mtDNA is reduced
• treatment with sodium fumarate dibasic or Mdivi-1 (a specific Dnm1l inhibitor) improves mitochondrial morphology
• in cardiomyocytes at 8 weeks of age
• thickening of the cardiac muscle by 3-4 weeks of age
• starting at 3 weeks of age
• develops at later stages
• present at 7 weeks but not at 4 weeks of age
• at later stages
• upregulation of pathological markers is seen primarily in the left ventricle
• deregulated cardiac contraction
• treatment with Mdivi-1 (a specific Dnm1l inhibitor) improves cardiac function
• decrease in left ventricular fractional shortening

growth/size/body
• starting at 3 weeks of age
• lower body weights in mice older than 6 weeks
• no difference in body weight is detected during the first 6 weeks of life
• ratio of tibialis anterior muscle weight to body weight is similar to controls

cellular
• at 8 weeks of age cristae malformations, electron-dense inclusions and hypodense compartments are seen
• at 8 weeks of age the number of mitochondria is increased and the size is decreased
• despite the increase in number of mitochondria the amount of mtDNA is reduced
• treatment with sodium fumarate dibasic or Mdivi-1 (a specific Dnm1l inhibitor) improves mitochondrial morphology
• in cardiomyocytes at 8 weeks of age
• mitochondrial dysfunction in the heart indicated by expression analysis, increase in protein oxidation, and decreases in TCA cycle related metabolites
• analysis of posttranslational modification of Dnm1l and other results suggest an increase in mitochondrial fission
• deregulated TCA cycle in cardiomyocytes

muscle
• severe abnormalities in myofibril/sarcomere organization and intramitochondrial structure at 8 weeks of age
• at 8 weeks of age cristae malformations, electron-dense inclusions and hypodense compartments are seen
• at 8 weeks of age the number of mitochondria is increased and the size is decreased
• despite the increase in number of mitochondria the amount of mtDNA is reduced
• treatment with sodium fumarate dibasic or Mdivi-1 (a specific Dnm1l inhibitor) improves mitochondrial morphology
• in cardiomyocytes at 8 weeks of age
• thickening of the cardiac muscle by 3-4 weeks of age
• at later stages
• upregulation of pathological markers is seen primarily in the left ventricle
• deregulated cardiac contraction
• treatment with Mdivi-1 (a specific Dnm1l inhibitor) improves cardiac function
• decrease in left ventricular fractional shortening
