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 |
