Abstract excerpt
The wobbler mouse (genotype wr/wr) has been considered as an animal model for human neurodegenerative disorders. In the homozygous condition, the autosomal mutation wobbler (wr) causes a motoneuron disease and gonadal dysfunction. We have genetically mapped the wr gene, using an interspecific backcross between the laboratory strain C57BL/6J (wr/+) and Mus spretus. The expected percentage of wobbler progeny were...
