Table 1. Comparison of neuropathological features in Cmtm5-, Cnp-, and Plp-mutant mice.

Neuropathological features in Cmtm5 cKO,Cnp-/-, and Plp-/Y mice and key references are given. APP, amyloid precursor protein.

Feature Cmtm5 mutants Cnp mutants Plp mutants
Myelinated axons (%) Normal Reduced Reduced
Myelin thickness Normal Trend to thinner myelin Normal-appearing
Myelin structure Normal Inner-tongue swellings, myelin outfoldings Lamella splittings, myelin outfoldings
Axonopathy Early onset, progressive Early onset, progressive Early onset, progressive
Modified by WldS Reduction of pathology No effect No effect
APP+ axonal swellings Late onset Early onset Early onset
Microgliosis Late onset Early onset Early onset
Astrogliosis Late onset Early onset Early onset
