| Study | Method | Axonopathy | MN loss | NMJ abnormalities | Motor deficits |
| Armstrong and Drapeau, 2013 | Antisense MO knockdown (60% expression reduction) | Not reported | Not reported – But increased MN excitability | Yes – Abnormal structure and deficits in pre- and postsynaptic NMJ transmission | Yes – Reduced swim duration and increased fatigue |
| Armstrong and Drapeau, 2013 | FUS R521H mutation | Not reported | Not reported – But increased MN excitability | Yes – Abnormal structure and deficits in pre- and postsynaptic NMJ transmission | Yes – Reduced swim duration and increased fatigue |
| Armstrong et al., 2016 | CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported |
| Kabashi et al., 2011 | AMO knockdown | Yes – Reduced primary and unbranched axonal length | Not reported | Not reported | Yes – Deficient TEER (57% of injected) |
