Type Mutant Stock; Additional information on Genetically Engineered Mutant Mice. Species laboratory mouse Generation F36p+F3p (22-JAN-06) Description
Mice homozygous mice for the waved 2 spontaneous mutation (Egfrwa2) are recognizable at 2 to 3 days by curly whiskers. The first coat is waved but later coats are not; vibrissae usually remain curled and the guard hairs curved. Some homozygotes have eyelids open at birth. Fertile mutant females have impaired lactation.Development
In 1933, or shortly thereafter, the waved 2 mutation arose spontaneously in the "abnormal Corpus callosum stock" held by Dr. Clyde Keeler at The Bussey Institute of Harvard Medical School. In 1935 waved 2 (Egfrwa2) was received from Dr. Reed by Dr. G.D. Snell at the Jackson Laboratory. It was crossed to shaker 2 (Myo15sh2) mice of Dr. C.C. Little at The Jackson Laboratory and waved 2 shaker 2 (Egfrwa2 Myo15sh2) mice were crossed to flexed-tail (f) mice received from the Bussey Institute in 1936. All three mutations were maintained in this stock. In 1947 this stock was returned after the fire to Dr. Snell from Dr. Walter Heston. The stock was maintained by non-sibling within-stock matings until 1960 when one outcross was made to C3H/HeJ. The stock was then sibling mated for 13 generations before 3 crosses were made to C57BL/6J, via backcross-intercross, and the stock was then non-sibling within-stock mated and in 1969 two lines were selected, Myo15sh2 and Egfrwa2 and flexed was dropped from these lines. In the Egfrwa2 line a cross was made to B6.Cg-bc, a congenic strain then at N5, and the resulting stock, carrying a and Egfrwa2 but not bc, was sibling mated to maintain Egfrwa2 by forced heterozygosis. It was cryopreserved in 1986 with the common parent at F53.

| General Note |
Found by Keeler in an ``abnormal corpus callosum'' stock at the Bussey Institution, this mutant is very similar to Tgfawa1. Homozygotes can be recognized at 2 to 3 days by their curly whiskers. The first coat is waved but later coats are not. The vibrissae usually remain curled and the guard hairs curved. Some homozygotes have eyelids open at birth (J:13052). Butler and Robertson ascribed the open eyelid condition to an independent gene, which they called squint, but it is probably a pleiotropic effect of Egfrwa2 (J:15239). The proportions of guard hairs and zigzags are about normal in Egfrwa2/Egfrwa2 mice, but the hairs show irregularities and narrowing of the medulla, usually accompanied by thickening of the cortex. Bending occurs between these areas (J:5260). In fusion chimeras between Egfrwa2/Egfrwa2 and +/+ mice, waved and normal hairs occur in a patchy distribution, suggesting that Egfrwa2 acts locally in the hair folliclecells (J:5130). The waved-2 phenotype has been shown to result from a point mutation in the Egfr gene. Expression of EGFR in the outer hair root sheath, along with expression of its TGFA ligand in the inner root sheath, suggests that the waved-1 and waved-2 effects on hair growth may result from failures of signaling by this ligand-receptor system in skin (J:16986). Impairment of lactation in fertile mutant females is another effect of Egfrwa2 (J:23326). Phenotypic Similarity to Human Syndrome: aortic valve disease (J:60750). | ||
