Detailed description

Skimpy homozygotes are smaller than their littermates, walk on their toes, have poor balance, and die by four weeks of age.

Development

The skimpy mutation arose spontaneously in the strain CXB5/ByJ at The Jackson Laboratory in 2001 when that recombinant inbred strain was at generation F107. This mutant subline has been maintained by sibling inbreeding progeny tested heterozygotes ever since.
