craniofacial

abnormal craniofacial morphology ( J:67077 )

• Background Sensitivity: the 'Greek warrior helmet' phenotype of domed skull, small ears, and wide set eyes is found on a >50% C57BL/6J background

domed cranium ( J:67077 )

small ears ( J:67077 )

hearing/vestibular/ear

small ears ( J:67077 )

skeleton

domed cranium ( J:67077 )

vision/eye

iris coloboma ( J:67077 )

• iris colobomas in 5 of 38 mice examined

cornea opacity ( J:67077 )

• in several heterozygotes

cataract ( J:67077 )

• 5 of 38 assessed have cataracts

ocular hypertelorism ( J:67077 )

behavior/neurological

abnormal seizure response to electrical stimulation ( J:67077 )

• 85% of heterozygotes seize in response to a high frequency electroconvulsive stimulus

nervous system

abnormal seizure response to electrical stimulation ( J:67077 )

• 85% of heterozygotes seize in response to a high frequency electroconvulsive stimulus

abnormal corpora quadrigemina morphology ( J:67077 )

abnormal cerebral cortex morphology ( J:67077 )

• hypoplasia of the cerebral cortex results in colluculi being more exposed, although lobulation defects, which are found in other deletions in this region, are not observed

respiratory system

atelectasis ( J:67077 )

• by the third backcross onto C57BL/6J nearly all newborns die immediately after birth with collapsed lungs

growth/size/body

small ears ( J:67077 )
