Genetic background modifies inner ear and eye phenotypes of jag1 heterozygous mice.

Abstract excerpt

Mice heterozygous for missense mutations of the Notch ligand Jagged1 (Jag1) exhibit head-shaking behavior indicative of an inner ear vestibular defect. In contrast, mice heterozygous for a targeted deletion of the Jag1 gene (Jag1del1) do not demonstrate obvious head-shaking behavior. To determine whether the differences in inner ear phenotypes were due to the types of Jag1 mutations or to differences in genetic...
