Detailed description

Development

The Cal8 mutation arose spontaneously in the strain CByJ.Cg-vtab/GrsrJ and the vtab mutation arose spontaneously in the strain CBy.A-Ttc^fsn/J in 2002. Although neither the vtab phenotype of variable tail abnormalities nor the Ttc^fsn phenotype of flaky skin have been seen in the Cal8 mutant subline, there is a remote possibility that vtab or, less likely, Ttc^fsn is still segregating in the cryopreserved bankstock.
