hearing/vestibular/ear

abnormal cochlear hair cell stereociliary bundle morphology ( J:167543 )

• reduction in stereocilia numbers is similar to Actg1^tm1.1Erv homozygotes

increased susceptibility to age-related hearing loss ( J:167543 )

• marked hearing loss by 28 weeks of age

nervous system

abnormal cochlear hair cell stereociliary bundle morphology ( J:167543 )

• reduction in stereocilia numbers is similar to Actg1^tm1.1Erv homozygotes

behavior/neurological

limb grasping ( J:112808 )

• about 2/3 of mice show classical hind limb contractures when suspended by the tail

• persists throughout life without getting any worse

decreased locomotor activity ( J:112808 )

• reduced mobility

• persists throughout life without getting any worse

muscle

abnormal Z line morphology ( J:112808 )

• dystrophin is less organized at the z-line in some muscles

abnormal skeletal muscle fiber morphology ( J:112808 )

• muscles primarily made up of type II fibers are most affected

increased variability of skeletal muscle fiber size ( J:112808 )

• more variability in muscle fiber size

centrally nucleated skeletal muscle fibers ( J:112808 )

• centrally nucleated fibers start appearing in muscle at about 3 months of age and progress to widespread incidence by 12 to 18 months

impaired skeletal muscle contractility ( J:112808 )

• maximal force production by extensor digitorum longus muscle is less than in controls

• maximal titanic force is similar to controls
