♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

mortality/aging

premature death ( J:146530 )

• some mice die after episodes of rhythmic jumping or tonic-clonic seizure

• 13.5% of mice die between 21 and 28 days after which mortality is about 10% per month until 12 months when all mice are dead

behavior/neurological

abnormal emotion/affect behavior ( J:146530 )

• by 6 months of age, mice become less interactive with littermates and their environment compared to wild-type mice

tremors ( J:146530 )

• intention tremors as mice ambulate

impaired balance ( J:146530 )

• mice fall when standing on hind legs to feed unlike wild-type mice

• all mice fall from a rotarod, but female mice exhibit more time on the rotarod than males

abnormal posture ( J:146530 )

• mice older than 4 months exhibit unusual postures in which they curl up on their side unlike wild-type mice

abnormal locomotor coordination ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit impaired motor coordination

ataxia ( J:146530 )

impaired swimming ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit difficulty coordinating the movement needed to swim and will drown if not assisted

abnormal gait ( J:146530 )

• unsteady

decreased locomotor activity ( J:146530 )

• by 6 months of age

increased stereotypic behavior ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit frequent episodes of brief behavioral arrest lasting 2 to 3 seconds and occasional repeated and rhythmic jumping towards the top of the cage on their hind legs followed by a period of quiescence unlike wild-type mice

• however, mice cease their abnormal jumping behavior by 6 weeks of age

tonic-clonic seizures ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit rare frank tonic-clonic convulsions that are followed by a period of quiescence unlike wild-type mice

absence seizures ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit frequent, large amplitude runs of spike-wave discharges often associated with a head twitch or behavioral pause unlike wild-type mice

• mice exhibit absence seizures that can be eliminate by treatment with ethosuximide

abnormal spike wave discharge ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit frequent, large amplitude runs of spike-wave discharges often associated with a head twitch or behavioral pause unlike wild-type mice

growth/size/body

decreased body weight ( J:146530 )

• at P14

decreased body length ( J:146530 )

• at P14

nervous system

tonic-clonic seizures ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit rare frank tonic-clonic convulsions that are followed by a period of quiescence unlike wild-type mice

absence seizures ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit frequent, large amplitude runs of spike-wave discharges often associated with a head twitch or behavioral pause unlike wild-type mice

• mice exhibit absence seizures that can be eliminate by treatment with ethosuximide

abnormal spike wave discharge ( J:146530 )

• mice exhibit frequent, large amplitude runs of spike-wave discharges often associated with a head twitch or behavioral pause unlike wild-type mice

behavior/neurological

increased susceptibility to pharmacologically induced seizures ( J:146530 )
