tg1

• Allelic Composition: Tg(HSA*LR)20aCath/?
• Genetic Background: involves: FVB/N

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

muscle

abnormal muscle fiber morphology ( J:64493 )

• mice exhibit a substantial increase in central nuclei (up to 25% of fibers), ring fibers and sarcoplasmic masses

• however, mice do not develop muscle weakness or wasting by 6 months of age

impaired muscle relaxation ( J:64493 )

• 4 of 8 mice display myotonia

• myotonia is observed as early as 4 weeks of age when muscle histology is normal

• mice exhibit abnormal hindlimb posture when they initiate movement after long periods of inactivity or when they are suspended by their tails
