Phenotypic characterization of spontaneously mutated rats showing lethal dwarfism and epilepsy.

Comparative medicine - 1 Aug 2007

Suzuki Hiroetsu, Takenaka Motoo, Suzuki Katsushi

Abstract excerpt

We have characterized the phenotype of spontaneously mutated rats, found during experimental inbreeding in a closed colony of Wistar Imamichi rats. Mutant rats showed severe dwarfism, short lifespan (early postnatal lethality), and high incidence of epileptic seizures. Mutant rats showed growth retardation after 3 d of age, and at 21 d their weight was about 56% that of normal rats. Most mutant rats died without...
