Background
involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6
Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Ankfy1Gt(RRE069)Byg mutation (1 available); any Ankfy1 mutation (75 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• fewer than expected homozygotes are produced from heterozygote crosses after backcrossing with C57BL/6 mice for 1-6 generations; degenerated embryos are occasionally seen as early as E11.5
• viable homozygotes are fertile and overtly normal with no detectable defects in neural stem/precursor cell development or histological defects in major organs at 2 months of age
• Background Sensitivity: all homozygotes are embryonic lethal after backcrossing with C57BL/6 mice for six or more generations

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit progressive motor deficits
• paw clasping is first seen at about 12 weeks of age
• gait differences are first seen at P20
• mice exhibit a motor weakness, drag their hindlegs and have a smaller stride length
• foot dragging is already present at 8 weeks of age, progresses with age and becomes increasingly more severe
• mice exhibit an increase in front/hind footprint overlap
• 8 week old mice perform worse on the rotating rod than controls
• spastic hind paw paralysis occurs in 24 week old mice
• mice exhibit spastic paralysis

cellular
• mice exhibit higher levels of apoptosis in the cerebellum and of Purkinje cells

growth/size/body
• mice show decreased body weight after 4 weeks of age

nervous system
• mice exhibit higher levels of apoptosis in the cerebellum and of Purkinje cells
• the brain, especially the cerebellum, is smaller
• Purkinje cell loss is seen at P60, with severe degeneration at 6 months of age, however the thickness of the molecular layer is not changed
• 6 month old mice exhibit severe DNA breaks in Purkinje cells, indicating apoptosis
• however, myelin sheaths in the corpus callosum, cerebellum and pons are normal
• Purkinje cells grown in culture have fewer intermediate or terminal dendritic branches than wild-type cells, abundant distal spiny branchlets that emerge from the terminal dendritic branches, an increase in the number of axonal circular expansions, and a decrease in the total length and number of dendrites
• Purkinje cells have fewer intermediate and terminal collaterals but longer terminal branches
• 24 week old mice show increased numbers of astrocytes in areas such as the vestibular nuclei, substantia nigra and cerebellum

skeleton
• kyphosis is first seen at about 12 weeks of age
