vision/eye
• Background Sensitivity: The presence of the 129P2/OlaHsd allele of Map1a from the transgene rescues some of the photoreceptor degeneration that occurs in tubby homozygotes on a predominantly C57BL/6J background, with an average of 126 photoreceptor nuclei remaining in the outer nuclear layer in the presence of the transgene but only 76 in the tubby homozygotes lacking this transgene

hearing/vestibular/ear
• Background Sensitivity: The 129P2/OlaHsd-derived sequence of this transgene rescues much of the hearing loss phenotype of tubby homozygotes on the C57BL/6J background
