Abnormal Assay(s)
Assay: Overt movement/posture

   Domain(s): Visible Mutants ; Movement/Neuromuscular Function
Phenotype Description
These mutants have splayed hind limbs and develop a body tremor by weaning age (mean 4.4 weeks of age +/-0.48; n=17). Mutants of either sex have been observed and the colony is obtained through homozygous matings.   (View video)
Pathology Report
Standard pathology work-up on one mutant (77 days of age) revealed severe mononuclear lymphocytic nephritis; lymphocytes were also noted in the lung.

Comments
Please note: 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.
