Quaking*shiverer double-mutant mice survive for at least 100 days with no CNS myelin.

Abstract excerpt

Mice expressing mutations that produce CNS hypomyelination often die prematurely: the more severe the hypomyelination, the shorter the life span. However, we have previously described jimpy-msd mice that survive twice as long as usual; although they acquire significantly increased amounts of myelin, they still succumb long before their unaffected littermates. This result contradicts any postulated causal...
