mortality/aging
• 5 of 37 die within 6 months

behavior/neurological
• difficulties in hindlimb movement
• gait abnormalities

growth/size/body
• display wasting associated with weight loss and premature death

limbs/digits/tail
• kinked or serpentine tails

nervous system
• at P3.5, see a 10-fold reduction in ventral and a 5-fold reduction in dorsal roots, with this reduction still apparent at P15, however by 6 months of age, cell numbers are similar to those in controls, however myelin sheaths formed are thin
• reduction in thickness of the myelin sheath of sciatic nerves at P15 that persists at 6 and 14 months of age
• thin myelin is due to the presence of fewer wraps of myelin around the axon
• dorsal roots display a severe decrease of Schwann cells in all mutants at P3.5 and P15
• sciatic nerves at P15 are translucent and thin
• ventral roots display a severe decrease of Schwann cells in all mutants at P3.5 and P15
• about 20% loss of axons in the L5 ventral root
• hypomyelination in sciatic, sural, saphenous nerves, nerves innervating lower leg muscles, and the dorsal spinal roots and absent myelin in ventral spinal roots
• occasionally see large-caliber axons lacking myelin that are still surrounded by a Schwann cell basal lamina in the sciatic nerve

mortality/aging
• 27% die before reaching 6 months of age and 20% die during echochardiographic or ECG examination
• 16% die within the first 2 weeks, the rest reach adulthood

cardiovascular system
• adults and 3 month old mice exhibit myofiber hypertrophy
• frequently observe enlarged cardiomyocyte nuclei with abnormal morphology
• heart-to-body weight ratios of adults are increased by 26%, indicative of hypertrophy
• adults exhibit enlarged ventricular chambers
• seen in adults
• progressive malfunction of the heart
• at 1 month of age, see dilatation and loss of left ventricle contractility
• at 3 months of age, ventricular diameter is increased and fractional shortening is impaired
• hearts do not compensate after aortic banding but display a further decrease in fractional shortening
• significantly lengthened QTc interval caused by a slowed ventricular repolarization
