Description
There have been several remutations to Ames waltzer (av) have occurred in stocks at The Jackson Laboratory. All mice homozygous for these remutations show the characteristic head-tossing, circling, and deafness characteristic of Ames waltzer. Ames wa ltzer 2J homozygous mutant mice (av2J/av2J) are more severely afflicted than mice homozygous for the other Jackson (J) remutations. av2J/av2J homozygotes become disoriented and sink in swim tests; Ames waltzer 3J homozygotes (av3J/av3J), like Ames waltzer-J (avJ/avJ), swim with difficulty and circle afloat. In the membranous labyrinth the fluid spaces in the Organ of Corti fail to develop. Later, hair cells and spiral ganglion cells degenerate.

Development
Ames waltzer 3 Jackson (Pcdh15av-3J) arose spontaneously on strain C57BL/6J when it was at F175 at the Jackson Laboratory in the early 1990's. It was maintained on that strain and was cryopreserved in 1993 by mating homozygous males at F175+1N2F1 to C57BL/6J females.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.
