| 002282 | BTBR T+ tf/J | Level 4 |
| BTBR mice exhibit a 100% absence of the corpus callosum and a severly reduced hippocampal commissure (Wahlsten D, 2003 Brain Res). This strain exhibits several symptoms of autism including: reduced social interactions, impaired play, low exploratory behavior, unusual vocalizations and high anxiety as compared to other inbred strains (McFarlane HG, 2008, Gen, Brain Behav; Moy SS, 2007, Behav Br Res, Scattoni ML, 2008, PLos). | ||
| 000674 | I/LnJ | Repository- Live |
| I/LnJ mice were originally derived by Dr. LC Strong in 1926 from an unpedigreed stock of mice. A high proportion of mice from this strain lack a corpus callosum. This absence is associated with slow growth of the medial septum subadjacent to the cavum septi. The reproductive performance of I/LnJ mice is very poor. Further analysis indicates that oocytes from I/LnJ mice display retarded kinetics of meiotic maturation and a high frequency of metaphase I arrest. Some oocytes fail to resume meiosis. Oocytes have many very small centrosomes with an absence of microtubules. I/LnJ mice, in addition to carrying several other coat color alleles, are homozygous for the piebald mutation (Ednrbs). The piebald spontaneous mutation is the result of a mutation in the endothelin receptor type B gene, Ednrb. Mice show irregular white spotting, the amount of which is greatly influenced by minor modifying genes. They also have dark eyes. The white areas of the coat are complet
