weakness ( J:60771 )

• mice exhibit motor weakness unlike wild-type mice

nervous system

increased neuron apoptosis ( J:60771 )

• mice exhibit an increase in apoptotic death in the hindbrain and ventral spinal cord neurons compared to in wild-type mice

abnormal spinal cord morphology ( J:60771 )

• mice exhibit a 4-fold increase in the number of pyknotic cells compared to in wild-type mice in the ventral region of the spinal cord, in specific brainstem nuclei, most notably CN XII and the deep cerebellar nuclei

growth/size/body

decreased fetal size ( J:60771 )

cellular

increased neuron apoptosis ( J:60771 )

• mice exhibit an increase in apoptotic death in the hindbrain and ventral spinal cord neurons compared to in wild-type mice
