Pathological and genetic analysis of the degenerating muscle (dmu) mouse: a new allele of Scn8a.

Abstract excerpt

Here, we describe a novel spontaneous autosomal recessive mutation in the mouse that is characterized by skeletal and cardiac muscle degeneration. We have named this mutant degenerating muscle (dmu). At birth, mutant mice are indistinguishable from their normal littermates. Thereafter, the disease progresses rapidly and a phenotype is first observed at approximately 11 days after birth; the dmu mice are weak and...
