| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• mice die within the first 24 hours of birth but no embryonic lethality is observed as previously noted
|
|
• the pontine nuclei is disrupted
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• homozygotes born with low frequency and died within one week of birth
|
|
• 50% reduction in the number of pro-B cells in homozygotes
|

|
• mice show reduced freezing in the contextual fear conditioning tests
• mice treated subchronically with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid show rescue of memory-associated freezing in the contextual and cued tests
|
|
• mice show reduced freezing in the cued fear conditioning test
• mice treated subchronically with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid show rescue of memory-associated freezing in the contextual and cued tests
|
|
• in the Morris water maze, mice fail to show selectivity for the target quadrant, spending less time there than wild-type mice and crossing the platform zone fewer times
|
|
• mice have a deficit in the 24 hour object location memory indicating impaired spatial memory
|
|
• mice groom themselves more than wild-type mice
|
|
• mice exhibit enhanced startle reflex to unexpected 120 dB sound bursts
|
|
• mice exhibit asymmetry in their motor control and an imbalance that favors their left size
• however, mice show no differences on the rotating rod or in walking across a horizontal ladder
|
|
• mice show weaker hindlimb, but not forelimb, grip strength
|
|
• mice favor their front left paw while ambulating across a catwalk
• dynamic weight bearing analysis indicates that mice place more weight on their front left paw than their right paw
|
|
• mice show increased activity in the open field and in the elevated plus maze, where mice show an increase in overall arm entrances
• however, mice do not show an increase in anxiety in the open field or elevated plus maze
|
|
• mice prefer social isolation over interaction with a novel mouse in the three-chamber social test
|
|
• pups have reduced ultrasonic vocalization when removed from the nest, which remains low until the phenotype converges with normal behavior or wild-type controls around P7
• P3 pups have weaker calls
• P3 pups have less frequent ultrasonic distress calls and at lower volumes
|
|
• mice exhibit enhanced Schaffer collateral long-term potentiation when activated with theta burst stimulation
• hippocampal CA1 area treated with the HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin A before theta burst stimulation normalizes the LTP
|
|
• mice have deficits in prepulse inhibition
