Abstract excerpt
The autosomal recessive mutation wobbler of the mouse (phenotype WR; genotype wr/wr) causes muscular atrophy due to motoneuron degeneration with 100% penetrance on the standard Mus musculus laboratorius C57BL/6J background. In inter- and backcrosses with M. m. castaneus strain CAST/EI we have observed a variability in the severity of neurological symptoms. Approximately 15% of the WR (wr/wr) CAST/B6 hybrids were...
