Brain morphology in Qkie5/Qkie5 and Qkiqk-v/Qkiqk-v mice

hearing/vestibular/ear
• prolonged latency for all peaks and larger amplitudes for P1/N1

nervous system
• onset of seizures begins at 6-8 weeks of age; seizures occur less frequently than in homozygous Qke5 mice
• aging mutants exhibit Purkinje cell axonal swellings, indicating neurodegeneration
• decrease in myelination, however more axons are surrounded by thin myelin sheaths than seen in Qke5 homozygotes (J:102038)
• microsomes prepared from brains of 18 day old homozygotes show a reduction in fatty acid chain elongation activity with arachidoyl CoA, behenoyl CoA, and palmitoyl CoA substrates (J:160743)

behavior/neurological
• onset of seizures begins at 6-8 weeks of age; seizures occur less frequently than in homozygous Qke5 mice

reproductive system
• the testis contain many spermatogenic cells, but few spermatozoa and the spermatozoa collected from the cauda epididymis all have abnormal heads and/or tails and less than 0.5% are barely motile, and although in vitro fertilization is not successful, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and round spermatid injection are successful in production of offspring from homozygous males
