Abnormal Assay(s)
Assay: Overt movement/posture

   Domain(s): Visible Mutants ; Movement/Neuromuscular Function
Phenotype Description
The mutants exhibit an intense body tremor observed during movement and rest by 4 weeks of age (mean 4.3+/-0.48 weeks; n=21). Mutants of either sex have been produced, and the colony is maintained through regular breeding.   (View video)
Pathology Report
Standard pathology work-up on two mutants (30 days of age) revealed no abnormalities.

Comments
Please note: 1-While this mutation is available, it has not yet been chromosomally mapped - an important part of determining whether it is allelic with a previously characterized mutation; 2- The majority of frozen NMF embryos is obtained through matings between homozygous (or heterozygous) mutant males and wild-type females; if recovery of mutants is requested, the mice will be shipped as soon as possible following wean without further phenotype or genotype testing. NMF embryos are supplied subject to the General Terms and Conditions of Sale posted at www.jaxmice.jax.org. For prices or further information, please inquire at srp@jax.org or nmf-mice@jax.org. (7) NMF220 have been requested by and distributed to 2 investigators.
