normal phenotype
no abnormal phenotype detected ( J:176888 )

mortality/aging
premature death ( J:221590 )
• following postnatal tamoxifen treatment (P5-P9), mice die significantly earlier than control mice, with a median survival at 23 weeks of age

growth/size/body
slow postnatal weight gain ( J:221590 )
• tamoxifen-treated mice gain significantly less weight than controls from 10 weeks of age

behavior/neurological
behavior/neurological phenotype ( J:221590 )
N
• at 28-67 weeks of age, tamoxifen-treated mice show no significant differences in total SHIRPA scores relative to control mice
seizures ( J:221590 )
• tamoxifen-treated mice show more electroencephalographic seizure events than controls
• however, no spontaneous clinical seizures are observed

nervous system
nervous system phenotype ( J:221590 )
N
• at 14-19 weeks of age, tamoxifen-treated mice show only a minor, insignificant decrease in the uptake of L-[3H]glutamate (~15%) and D-[3H]aspartate (~13%) into crude forebrain synaptosomes relative to controls
seizures ( J:221590 )
• tamoxifen-treated mice show more electroencephalographic seizure events than controls
• however, no spontaneous clinical seizures are observed
abnormal brain wave pattern ( J:221590 )
• tamoxifen-treated mice show a significantly higher number of automatically detected spike-trains (electroencephalographic seizures) per 20 min of scalp EEG recording relative to controls (18.7 +/- 7.2 vs 1.9 +/- 0.5)
