This video illustrates the typical phenotypes seen in vehicle-treated and untreated Nf1hGFAPCKO mice compared to controls including scruffy fur, unbalanced gait, vertical projection of the tail, hyperactivity, hind-limb crossing, and hand-standing. Following MEKi treatment, the G-responders appear similar to the controls except the vertical projection of the tail, while the P-responders are more similar to the vehicle-treated mutants. All the mice in this video are P21 except the mouse with the hand-standing phenotype, which was videotaped at 4 months of age.
