Summary

These mice are deficient in PSEN1. This model is perinatal lethal in homozygouse animals which die shortly after birth, presumably from breathing difficulties due to ribcage deformity (Shen et al., 1997).

Gross skeletal malformations and central nervous system abnormalities are observed in these animals. Additional phenotypes include: shortened tails that curve to the right, thickened necks, loose skin, hind limbs that curve towards the midline, and reduced body weight.
