phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
muscle
• tibialis anterior muscle show disorganization of muscle fibers
• tibialis anterior muscles show increased diameter of fibers at 24 months of age
• however, no changes in the proportion of centralized nuclei are seen

homeostasis/metabolism
• brain and spinal cord copper concentrations are increased from 6 months of age
• however, no differences are seen in calf muscle, kidney, or liver copper levels
• MEFs show a higher cellular copper accumulation after copper loading than control MEFs and after restoration to a cooper-free culture media, MEFs are less efficient at reducing the intracellular copper concentration than controls
• from 6 months of age

cellular
• MEFs are more sensitive to copper-induced toxicity

behavior/neurological
N
• males show no physical manifestations of peripheral neuropathy in limb clasping or rotarod performance

nervous system
N
• males show no sciatic nerve axonal degeneration at 18 months of age and no differences in neuromuscular junction occupancy are seen at 24 months of age
• from 6 months of age
