Strain developmentDeveloped by Dr. Sen-ichi Oda, Nagoya University. This strain was generated by crossbreeding heterozygotic reeler (C57BL/6-rl) and hammer-toe (C57BL/6-Hm) mutants.
Strain descriptionB6.Cg-Hm+/+Reln<rl>. This strain was generated by crossbreeding heterozygotic reeler (Reln<rl>) and hammer-toe (Hm) mutant mice to facilitate distinguishing between heterozygous reeler mice (rl/+) and wildtype. The Hammer-toe semidominant gene is located near reeler locus on the homologous chromosome. The reeler mutation causes an abnormal pattern in the layering of neurons in the neocortex and the cerebellum. The reeler homozygous (rl/rl) mutant mice show impaired motor coordination, tremors and ataxia. The hammer-toe homozygous (Hm/Hm) mutant mice show markedly-flexed digits having a fusion of the interdigital tissues, whereas in Hm heterozygotes (Hm/+) the degree of flexion is not so severe compared to those of homozygotes.
Colony maintenanceSibling mating (Hm +/+ rl x Hm +/+ rl)Reeler homozygous mutant mice show impaired motor coordination, tremors and ataxia, and die by 4 weeks of age. Hammer toe homozygous mutant mice are viable and fertile.
