phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• mice appear normal but body weight is slightly decreased by 25% compared to littermates

behavior/neurological
• when given a new learning test following the retention test, mice show a deficit in transfer of learning capacity to a new situation compared to controls
• when retested 31 days after initial training period, mice do not retain level of performance initial acquired with learning
• in a radial maze test, mice show working memory errors
• mice show marked impairment in coordination and fatigability assessed by the rotarod test
• adult mice show abnormal hind limb position when walking or suspended by tail
• adults display waddling gait due to abnormal hind limb position; mice walk on tiptoes of hind feet
• adult transgenic mice show increased latency in hot plate test

nervous system
• majority of neurons in lumbar DRG have pyknotic nuclei
• innervating fibers in the spleen are scattered throughout germinal center and marginal zone, without reaching the central artery
• cells are greatly reduced in size (157-193 um2 vs 218-311 um2 in controls) at 2 months
• markedly smaller at 2 months of age compared to controls
• extent of CA3 mossy fibers is markedly reduced at 2 months
• number of choline acetyl transferase ChAT neurons in basal forebrain and hippocampus is reduced in adult animals relative to controls
• cell bodies of ChAT-positive fibers projecting to cortex and hippocampus show marked shrinkage
• neuron size with respect to cell body size is dramatically reduced with median size of 425 um2 in controls vs 75 um2 in transgenic mice at 2 months

muscle
• fibers show an irregular shape
• fibers show a decreased cross-sectional area
• at 2 months, significant reduction of the mass (atrophy) of longitudinal dorsal muscles and the flexor and abducent muscles of the hind limbs is observed in adults, but not in mice 2-30 days postnatal

hematopoietic system
• transgenic mice have 3-fold more apoptotic cells in the spleen compared to controls
• in adults, number of viable splenocytes in transgenic spleens is dramatically lower than in controls; proportion of IgG-positive cells is reduced while IgD-positive cells are slightly increased

immune system
• transgenic mice have 3-fold more apoptotic cells in the spleen compared to controls
• in adults, number of viable splenocytes in transgenic spleens is dramatically lower than in controls; proportion of IgG-positive cells is reduced while IgD-positive cells are slightly increased

skeleton
• mice often develop scoliosis of the back

cellular
• majority of neurons in lumbar DRG have pyknotic nuclei
• transgenic mice have 3-fold more apoptotic cells in the spleen compared to controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• amyloid deposits are seen in sarcoplasm of skeletal muscle
