behavior/neurological
• motor coordination and behavioral phenotypes are more severe than in mice carrying Mecptm5.1Brd and Mecptm6.1Brd
• onset of phenotypes is more rapid than observed in mice carrying Mecptm5.1Brd and Mecptm6.1Brd
• decrease in latency to fall in 3-day accelerated rotarod-learning paradigm by day 3 as compared to controls
• increased time in open arms of elevated plus maze as compared to controls
• increase in latency to fall in hanging wire test as compared to wild-type litter mates, but not as compared to Mecptm3.1Brd (WT-GFP) control
