Myo9a haploinsufficiency does not affect spontaneous motor activity, visual acuity, and swimming capability. (A) WT and Myo9a^+/- mice show comparable spontaneous motor activity in terms of the number of horizontal (left) and vertical (right) movements that were evaluated in an automated activity cage for 30 min. (B) In a visual cliff paradigm WT and Myo9a^+/- mice made the same percentage of safe choices, indicating good visual acuity in both animal groups. (C) Swimming activity of WT and Myo9a^+/- was evaluated by measuring swimming speed (left), latency to the visible platform (middle) and the number of forelimb and hindlimb kicks (right). No differences were detected between genotypes.
