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

mortality/aging

perinatal lethality, incomplete penetrance ( J:216140 )

• majority of mice die within a few hours after birth due to an inability to breathe

• less than 2% of mice survive to adulthood

cellular

abnormal axon extension ( J:216140 )

• some phrenic axons from diaphragm muscle of E15.5 embryos extend abnormally beyond acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters

• abnormal, increased axon extension is progressive and is more pronounced in E18.5 embryos

abnormal axon fasciculation ( J:216140 )

• sciatic axons from hindlimbs of E18.5 embryos lack conventional axon bundling

• Schwann cells appear to be absent from sciatic axon bundles

• cells near axon bundles are flattened and fibroblast-like

growth/size/body

decreased body size ( J:216140 )

• surviving mice are decreased in size and weight

decreased body weight ( J:216140 )

homeostasis/metabolism

cyanosis ( J:216140 )

• majority of mice exhibit an inability to breathe at birth

abnormal bile salt homeostasis ( J:216140 )

• levels of peroxisome bile acid intermediates (DHCA and THCA) assayed in E18.5 embryos are increased 11- and 28- fold, respectively, as compared to controls

increased fatty acids level ( J:216140 )

• plasma VLCFA levels assayed in E18.5 embryos are 10-fold higher than controls

decreased plasmalogen level ( J:216140 )

• total plasmalogen levels assayed in E18.5 embryos are 21-fold lower than controls

behavior/neurological

ataxia ( J:216140 )

• surviving mice have an ataxic gait

abnormal prenatal movement ( J:216140 )

• progressive loss of limb movement in majority of embryos from E17.5 to birth as assessed by touch response

forelimb paralysis ( J:216140 )

• observed in majority of E19.5 embryos

hindlimb paralysis ( J:216140 )

• observed in majority of E18.5 embryos

nervous system

abnormal axon extension ( J:216140 )

• some phrenic axons from diaphragm muscle of E15.5 embryos extend abnormally beyond acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters

• abnormal, increased axon extension is progressive and is more pronounced in E18.5 embryos

abnormal axon fasciculation ( J:216140 )

• sciatic axons from hindlimbs of E18.5 embryos lack conventional axon bundling

• Schwann cells appear to be absent from sciatic axon bundles

• cells near axon bundles are flattened and fibroblast-like

decreased Schwann cell number ( J:216140 )

• Schwann cells appear to be absent from sciatic axons

• Schwann cell number, as determined by labeling, indicates the appearance of some cells around the perimeter, but greatly reduced numbers in central regions of the nerve, however, Schwann cell number is similar to controls in E15.5 embryos

• cells near axon bundles are flattened and fibroblast-like

• numbers of Schwann cells located terminally or adjacent to axons or associated with AChR clusters are decreased in diaphragms of E18.5 embryos

abnormal axon morphology ( J:216140 )

• decrease in medium neurofilaments, a measure of axon integrity, in white matter region of the lumbar level of the spinal cord in E18.5 embryos with immobile hindlimbs, but mobile forelimbs

abnormal neuromuscular synapse morphology ( J:216140 )

• neuromuscular junctions from the soleus muscle of E18.5 embryos exhibit decreased co-localization of axons with AChR clusters as compared to wild-type

abnormal endplate potential ( J:216140 )

• endplate potential amplitudes induced by stimulation of the phrenic nerve are decreased in E18.5 embryos

respiratory system

respiratory distress ( J:216140 )

• majority of mice exhibit an inability to breathe at birth
