Related Genotype: ae +/ae ?Development
The ae mutation was discovered by W.F. Hollander and J.W. Gowen among descendants of an irradiated male albino mouse of the S strain then maintained at Iowa State College and a female of the multiple-recessive P testing stock. A single black, typical non-agouti male produced by these matings was bred to three AY/A+ females (of unidentified background), yielding five male offspring that survived to maturity, three of which proved fertile. Each of these was bred to a female homozygous for the black-and-tan (a t) allele, which is recessive to both AY and A+. Black-and-tan offspring of this cross were bred among themselves, as were progeny of the latter crosses. In one of the resultant lines, the black mice had an extreme non-agouti phenotype, having no yellow hairs. This line contributed to the background of the inbred strain AEJ, which carries ae. Gdf5bp-H occurred spontaneously in the PCT multiple recessive stock at Harwell, U.K. It was backcrossed onto AEJ/GnLe-ae for 5 generations, and the stock has since been maintained by brother-sister inbreeding.

| General Note | This remutation arose spontaneously at Harwell in the PCT multiple recessive stock (J:13391). It is essentially identical in effect with Gdf5bp, and has been used extensively in studies of brachypodism. Dissociated mesoderm cells from 12-day hindlimb buds of Gdfbp-H homozygous mutant embryos make fewer and smaller condensations than those of control embryos and chondrogenesis is delayed (J:12041). Cells of the limb mesenchyme are more adhesive than in normal embryos (J:6104). Cell aggregation and cartilaginous nodule formation were determined in cultures of various combinations of cells from different stages and parts of limb buds of 10- to 13-day embryos. In limb buds from mice homozygous for Gdf5bp-H, there is reduced ability of a specific mesenchyme cell population to provide inductive stimulus for chondrogenesis. This cell-cell interaction results in a lower proportion of chondrogenic cells and a higher proportion of more mature non-chondrogenic cells. A factor produced by the femur and fibula or by the postaxial part of the hindlimb bud of 13-day Gdf5bp-H homozygous mutant mice inhibits the growth in vitro of tibias of 13-day wild-typeembryos (J:5444). Although tibias from 13-day mutant embryos grow normally in standard cultures, addition of a factor from the postaxial part of limb buds from 11- to 12-day wild-type mice causes reduces growth of mutant but not of wild-type 13-day tibias (J:11997). In an in vitro system which supports autonomous development of individual limb elements, the proximal-to-distal increase of severity of cartilage reduction is intensified in explants from homozygous mutant mice.
