Deletion of Hsp70.1/3 exacerbates the physical phenotypes of R6/2 mice. The absence of Hsp70.1/3 significantly exacerbates the weight loss phenotype (two-way ANOVA: p < 0.05) (A), and worsens the coat appearance (two-way ANOVA: p < 0.001) (B), body position (two-way ANOVA: p < 0.02) (C), and tail position (two-way ANOVA p < 0.001) (D) of R6/2 mice. Error bars indicate SEM. Note that in the absence of the R6/2 transgene, the loss of one or both copies of Hsp70.1/3 does not influence any of the presented outcome measures.
