The C3H/HeJ background strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration mutation Pde6brd1, which on this strain background causes blindness by three weeks of age.Description
Mice homozygous for the recessive Spnb4qv-lnd2J mutation are identifiable by two weeks of age by their small size relative to their littermates. Their bodies quiver, and their movements are less coordinated than those of littermates. Mutants become progressively wasted and die by four weeks of age. (Cook 1995; Samples 2003) Their phenotype is more severe than that of mice homozygous for the original Spnb4qv-lnd allele, which survive at least 10 months. Spnb4qv-lnd/Spnb4qv-lnd mice were found to have dystrophic axons in the lower lumbar and sacral spinal cord. The dystrophic axons were observed in both white and gray matter, but particularly in dorsolateral white matter (Bronson et al. 1992). The acoustic brainstem response ABR) pattern of Spnb4qv-lnd2J homozygous mice exposed to click stimuli of 80, 70, 60 and 50 decibels exhibited only the first expected peak, indicating the mice have normal cochlear function but attenuated brainstem response (Zheng 2003). The similar ABR pattern of an Spnb4qv mouse may be viewed the following Auditory-Evoked Brainstem Response (ABR) Thresholds web page. Note that this was generated using lower-volume clicks than for Spnb4qv-lnd2J.
