N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• motor coordination and behavioral phenotypes are intermediate to phenotypes observed in mice carrying Mecptm4.1Brd and Mecptm6.1Brd
• onset of phenotypes is initially rapid and then stable until 33 weeks as compared to mice carrying Mecptm4.1Brd and Mecptm6.1Brd
• increased time in open arms of elevated plus maze as compared to controls
• increase in latency to fall in hanging wire test as compared to controls
