Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:3573927

• Allelic Composition: Htt^tm1Detl/Htt^tm1Detl
• Genetic Background: involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6J

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

behavior/neurological

behavior/neurological phenotype ( J:67074 )

N • during tail suspension, a similar % (<20%) of wild-type and homozygous mutant mice tend to clasp

impaired limb coordination ( J:67074 )

• at >40 weeks of age, homozygotes show an increase in the average distance between front and hind paws ('overlap' distance) relative to wild-type mice

tonic-clonic seizures ( J:67074 )

• 1 out of 10 homozygotes (100 trials; 25-60 weeks of age) exhibit a convulsive spell consistent with a tonic-clonic seizure

growth/size/body

decreased body size ( J:67074 )

• at 34 weeks of age, some homozygotes exhibit an extreme size reduction relative to wild-type mice

homeostasis/metabolism

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype ( J:67074 )

N • homozygotes display normal blood glucose levels relative to wild-type mice

nervous system

nervous system phenotype ( J:67074 )

N • homozygotes display no extreme reductions in major brain regions or significant reactive gliosis relative to wild-type mice

tonic-clonic seizures ( J:67074 )

• 1 out of 10 homozygotes (100 trials; 25-60 weeks of age) exhibit a convulsive spell consistent with a tonic-clonic seizure

neuron degeneration ( J:67074 )

• neuronal intranuclear inclusions (NIIs) are rarely observed in homozygotes up to 90 weeks of age; no NIIs are noted in wild-type brains
