phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• on a graded treadmill protocol, mutants treated with tamoxifen show a decrease in the time of drop off from the treadmill compared to controls
• by 4 weeks after tamoxifen administration, 70% of mutants show reduced mobility
• by 4 weeks after tamoxifen administration, 70% of mutants show abnormal gait

muscle
• mutants treated with tamoxifen exhibit increased numbers of smaller myocytes, scattered basophilic fibers, acute myofibrillar degeneration with significant numbers of necrotic fibers and many fibers with basophilic cytoplasm and central nuclei consistent with regeneration
• four weeks after tamoxifen administration, mutants show a loss in fibers expressing solely slow twitch myosin and an increase in the number of fibers showing simultaneous expression of slow and fast twitch myosin isoforms
• by 4 weeks after tamoxifen administration, mutants show a severe reduction in muscle size
• muscle wasting progressively worsens with a 15% reduction in diameter by 4 weeks after tamoxifen administration
• mutants treated with tamoxifen exhibit severe and progressive skeletal muscle wasting and degeneration
• mutants treated with tamoxifen exhibit focal regions with increased fibrosis in skeletal muscle
• mutants treated with tamoxifen to induce cre-recombination exhibit sustained myotonia, with waxing and waning myotonic runs noted on electromyogram
• mutants not treated with tamoxifen also develop myotonia, indicating basal leakiness of the transgene, however they do not show overt skeletal muscle wasting, histological abnormalities or muscle dysfunction as do tamoxifen treated mutants

skeleton
• by 4 weeks after tamoxifen administration, 70% of mutants show kyphosis
