STRAIN INFORMATION


Family Identifier
NMF191
Synonym(s)
C57BL/6J-Nmf191/J; JR#5007
Synopsis
Grainy retina.
Gene Symbol
Nmf191 (View MGI Record)
Gene
Neuroscience mutagenesis facility191
Allele Symbol
Nmf191 (View MGI Record)
Allele
Neuroscience mutagenesis facility191
Abnormal Assay(s)
Assay: Indirect ophthalmoscopy

   Domain(s): Eye/Vision
Phenotype Description
Routine ophthalmoscopic examination at 12 weeks of age identified a grainy appearance of the retina in NMF191 mutants; electroretinographic recordings were normal (n=7). The mutants breed well, and the colony is maintained through regular breeding.
Pathology Report
Standard pathology work-up on two mutants (92 days of age) revealed no gross morphological abnormalities.
