N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• all mice die within the first 3 postnatal weeks
• however, some mice survive beyond weaning one an unspecified mixed background

nervous system
N
• lateral motor column specification is normal
• at E11.5, more dorsal radial and median nerves are reduced in length and width without compensatory increase in the size of the more ventral ulnar or thoracodorsal nerves compared to in wild-type mice
• at E12.5, radial nerves are thin and axons do not reach the more distal dorsal target muscles
• impaired motor axon extension in the dorsal forelimb
• however, no misrouting is observed
• at E13.5, mice exhibit dorsal muscle innervation to varying degrees with increased severity towards the distal muscles controlling digits compared with wild-type mice
• however, forelimb innervation at E11.5 is normal
• increased phrenic nerve synapses with reduced synaptic band width within the diaphragm at E18.5
• reduced individual axon length form the phrenic nerve to the synapse at E18 and P17

homeostasis/metabolism
• increased serum lactate levels in mice on a mixed background that survive beyond weaning
• mild in postnatal mice at death
• in postnatal mice at death
• mild in mice on a mixed background that survive beyond weaning

growth/size/body
• mice are thin
• 50% of normal at P15
• however, body size is normal at E18.5
• newborns fail to grow and thrive

limbs/digits/tail
• reduced mean foot length due to reduced tor extension
• atrophy of forelimb muscles that control forepaw and digit movement

behavior/neurological
• empty stomach and gut in postnatal mice at death
• reduced hang time from a cage lid

muscle
• bilateral atrophy of forelimb muscles that control forepaw and digit movement

cellular
• at E11.5, more dorsal radial and median nerves are reduced in length and width without compensatory increase in the size of the more ventral ulnar or thoracodorsal nerves compared to in wild-type mice
• at E12.5, radial nerves are thin and axons do not reach the more distal dorsal target muscles
• impaired motor axon extension in the dorsal forelimb
• however, no misrouting is observed

skeleton
• mice are born with relaxed forepaws and reduced dorsioflexion
• at P21 and 3 to 6 months, mice on an unspecified mixed background are unable to extend and spread forepaw digits
