hm1

• Allelic Composition: nmf242/nmf242
• Genetic Background: C57BL/6J-nmf242/J

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

behavior/neurological

ataxia ( J:82238 )

• from approximately four weeks of age, mutant mice exhibit an unsteady, sometimes staggering and/or swaying gait, with splaying and exaggerated movements of the hind limbs

muscle

muscle spasm ( J:82238 )

• from approximately four weeks of age, mutant mice occasionally exhibit an intense spasm of the hind limbs and lower back culminating in a high "popcornlike" jump; this behavior occurs less frequently as the mice age
