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

mortality/aging

postnatal lethality ( J:42513 )

• 50% of animals survive only 3 weeks; lethality may be partially background-sensitive

behavior/neurological

abnormal motor capabilities/coordination/movement ( J:42513 , J:61324 )

• frequent falls exhibited by 50% of mice (J:42513)

• by 14 days of age, mice exhibit frequent falling behavior (J:61324)

impaired righting response ( J:42513 , J:61324 )

• legs flail during attempts to right themselves in 50% of animals (J:42513)

• by 14 days of age, mice display convulsive limb movements during attempts to right themselves (J:61324)

opisthotonus ( J:61324 )

• can be stimulated by handling between 2 and 4 weeks of age

ataxia ( J:42513 , J:61324 )

• 50% of homozygotes are severely ataxic (J:42513)

• other 50% show transient ataxia at 3 weeks of age (J:42513)

• adults display mild ataxia (J:61324)

impaired balance ( J:61324 )

• adults cannot maintain balance on a narrow beam

impaired coordination ( J:61324 )

• mice fall off rotating rod within 0.5-1 minute; coordination improves with age

convulsive seizures ( J:61324 )

• increase in frequency between 2 and 4 weeks of age

nervous system

convulsive seizures ( J:61324 )

• increase in frequency between 2 and 4 weeks of age

abnormal cerebellum morphology ( J:61324 )

• localization of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) vesicles is abnormal in cerebellum of 20-day old mice

abnormal Purkinje cell dendrite morphology ( J:61324 )

• Times New Roman

muscle

opisthotonus ( J:61324 )

• can be stimulated by handling between 2 and 4 weeks of age

pigmentation

pigmentation phenotype ( J:61324 )

N • mutants have normal pigment indicating C-terminus exons of Myo5a are not involved in the dilute coat color change associated with other Myo5a mutations
