Abstract excerpt
The whirler (wi) mutation on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 4 results in an autosomal recessive neuroepithelial deafness and vestibular dysfunction exhibited as a characteristic shaker-waltzer behavior (deafness, circling, and head-bobbing). We have constructed a genetic linkage map across the wi region in both an interspecific [(wi/wi x CAST/Ei)F1 x wi/wi] backcross (n = 817) and an intraspecific [(wi/wi x CBA/Ca)F1 x...
