Notes

Plp1^jp-msd, myelin synthesis deficiency, recessive. This mutation, which arose spontaneously in the B10.C(47N) strain, was shown to be an allele of Plp1^jp by mating a fertile male Plp1^jp/Y -- +/- chimera to a Plp1^jp-msd/+ female to produce Plp1^jp/Plp1^jp-msd females with the typical jimpy phenotype (J:5322). Hemizygous males resemble Plp1^jp/Y males in behavior, early death, and other aspects (J:5170). They have a deficiency of myelin in the central nervous system, but the myelination defect is less severe than in jimpy males (J:7157). Myelin of the peripheral nervous system is normal (J:6648, J:5688). A single nucleotide substitution in exon 6 causes the myelin synthesis deficiency phenotype (J:42980).
