(A) Photographs of Fus+/+ and FusΔNLS/ΔNLS pups immediately after birth (P0 animals).(B-C) FusΔNLS/ΔNLS mice showed significantly reduced body weight (B) and length (C). Weight and length values normalized to wild type (Fus+/+) are presented. N=11 Fus+/+, N=26 FusΔNLS/+ and N=14 FusΔNLS/ΔNLS; (*) p<0.05 (**) p<0.01 vs Fus+/+, (#) p<0.05 vs Fus∆NLS/+; One way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test.
