[8][9] Other symptoms include seizures, nearsightedness, farsightedness, strabismus, syringomyelia, ventriculomegaly, corpus callosum hypoplasia, hearing difficulties, and a delay in CNS myelination.
Altered behavior and cognitive function with signs such as motor defects, less complexity in vocalization, poor hippocampus-dependant memory, and deficits in pre+pulse inhibition.
Abnormally high length and number of neurons, alongside diminished dendritic branching was present in the brains of heterozygous mutant mice.
CTNNB1 knockdown (by the usage of siRNA) resulted in decreasing of neuronal processes and length, which lead the researchers to believe T653K is a loss-of-function type of mutation.
Electrophysiologic tests showed that the neurons of mutated mice exhibited higher neural network excitability alongside decreased efficiency of functional connectivity.
