This inbred segregating mutant strain carries the atrichosis (at) and eye blebs (Grip1eb) spontaneous mutations in repulsion and is homozygous for dilute (Myo5ad).
Read More +This strain is segregating for at and Grip1eb, which are maintained in repulsion. Mice homozygous for both at and Grip1eb do not survive.
Mice homozygous for the atrichosis spontaneous mutation (at) are characterized by sparsely distributed hair, especially on the trunk. The amount of hair varies, but affected mice can be easily recognized at 8 to 10 days old. Both sexes are sterile and have very small gonads with few germ cells. There is a great deficiency of primary spermatogonia in the testes. A quantitative study of maturation of ovarian oocytes showed that the proportion of resident oocytes recruited into the first wave of growth was much higher than in phenotypically normal heterozygous controls (J.J. Eppig, personal communication). This strain is also segregating for the eye blebs spontaneous mutation (Grip1eb).
Embryos produced by sib matings of males heterozygous for at and Grip1eb to females that were either heterozygous or wild-type for at and Grip1eb were cryopreserved in 2006.

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. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
