• seizures develop postnatally

abnormal oligodendrocyte morphology ( J:150563 )

• 2-fold higher levels of apoptotic cells (having blebbed processes, fragmented nuclei) are observed in premyelinating oligodendrocytes compared to controls; transition from premyelinating to mature oligodendrocytes is blocked when assayed at P7

• postmitotic oligodendrocytes are generated but then undergo apoptosis

abnormal spinal cord morphology ( J:150563 )

• severe loss of myelin is observed in spinal cord at P16, but spinal roots are myelinated

abnormal myelination ( J:150563 )

• severe loss of myelination in CNS white matter tracts is observed at P16

nervous system

nervous system phenotype ( J:150563 )

N	• gross CNS architecture is normal • motor neuron population in spinal cord is intact • peripheral nerves are fully myelinated

seizures ( J:150563 )

• develop after P10

abnormal optic nerve morphology ( J:150563 )

abnormal spinal cord morphology ( J:150563 )

• severe loss of myelin basic protein (immunostaining) is observed in spinal cord at P13, but spinal root myelination (myelinated by Schwann cells) is normal

vision/eye

abnormal optic nerve morphology ( J:150563 )
