hm1

• Allelic Composition: Dmrta1^tm1.1Zark/Dmrta1^tm1.1Zark
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S1/Sv * FVB/N

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

reproductive system

polyovular ovarian follicle ( J:118110 )

♀ • most mutant ovaries contain at least one polyovular follicle

♀ • most are biovular, but as many as five oocytes have been observed

behavior/neurological

behavior/neurological phenotype ( J:118110 )

N • mice don't display any apparent motor deficits

N • females do not show increased aggressiveness toward male intruders compared to wild-type

abnormal mounting behavior ( J:118110 )

♂ • male mutants display significantly greater same-sex mounting behavior compared to wild-type (4/16 vs 0 wild-type); proportion of animals with this behavior is low, but consistent upon repeated testing

♂ • occurrence of mounts that are clearly sexual is greater than in wild-type or heterozygotes

abnormal mating preference ( J:118110 )

♂ • 25% of mutant males consistently display copulatory behavior toward other males

endocrine/exocrine glands

polyovular ovarian follicle ( J:118110 )

♀ • most mutant ovaries contain at least one polyovular follicle

♀ • most are biovular, but as many as five oocytes have been observed

skeleton

skeleton phenotype ( J:118110 )

N • there are no apparent defects in bone or cartilage development

taste/olfaction

taste/olfaction phenotype ( J:118110 )

N • males show relatively normal olfactory detection of food or pheromones

Genotype
