Abnormal Assay(s)
Assay: Overt movement/posture

   Domain(s): Auditory/Vestibular ; Visible Mutants
Phenotype Description
These mutants were detected through routine inspections for overt abnormal behavior; head- and body tilt can be observed at approximately 4 weeks of age (average onset 4.6 +/- 0.6 weeks; n=15). Male or female mutants have been produced and the colony is maintained through regular breeding.   (View video)
Pathology Report
Standard pathology work-up and a whole-mount ear exam on one mutant (56 days of age) revealed no abnormalities.
