STRAIN INFORMATION


Family Identifier
NMF195
Synonym(s)
C57BL/6J-nmf195/J; JR# 5009
Synopsis
Grainy retina.
Gene Symbol
nmf195 (View MGI Record)
Gene
neuroscience mutagenesis facility195
Allele Symbol
nmf195 (View MGI Record)
Allele
neuroscience mutagenesis facility195
Abnormal Assay(s)
Assay: Indirect ophthalmoscopy

   Domain(s): Eye/Vision
Phenotype Description
Routine ophthalmoscopic examination at 12 weeks of age revealed a grainy appearance of the retina, suggesting a pigmentation defect. The colony is maintained through normal breeding.
Pathology Report
Standard pathology work-up on two mutants (93 or 347 days of age) revealed no gross abnormalities. Additional pathology is in progress.
HERITABILITY AND MAPPING INFORMATION
Background Strain
C57BL/6J
Heritability Mode
Recessive
Heritability Status
Proven; 1 heterozygote x heterozygote mating resulted in 11 affected mice in a total of 93 progeny; one heterozygote x homozygote mating resulted in 11 affected mice in a total of 33 progeny, indicating reduced penetrance.
STATUS INFORMATION
Mutant Status
Cryopreserved Embryos
Comments
Please note: While this mutation is available, it may not yet be chromosomally mapped - an important part of determining whether it is allelic with a previously characterized mutation. (7) NMF195 have been requested by and distributed to 1 investigator.
