N normal phenotype
muscle
• macrophage infiltration is increased in skeletal muscle compared to mice homozygous for Dysfim and heterozygous for Fktntm2(FCMD)Ttd
• increases of connective tissue infiltrations in skeletal muscles
• albumin-positive myofibers are increased in skeletal muscle indicating deterioration of the myofiber membrane fragility
• at 15 weeks and 30 weeks of age, but not at 8 weeks, mutants show significantly more fibers with centrally located nuclei than do mice homozygous for Dysfim and heterozygous for Fktntm2(FCMD)Ttd, indicating more frequent cycles of muscle cell degeneration and regeneration
• the proportion of fibers with centrally located nuclei increases with age
• at 15 and 30 weeks of age, but not at 8 weeks, mutants show more frequent cycles of muscle cell degeneration and regeneration
• fibrotic area is increased in skeletal muscle
• mice show further progressed and more severe dystrophic features than mice homozygous for Dysfim and heterozygous for Fktntm2(FCMD)Ttd in quadriceps, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles

immune system
• macrophage infiltration is increased in skeletal muscle compared to mice homozygous for Dysfim and heterozygous for Fktntm2(FCMD)Ttd
