Table 1. The penetrant rate for gross and behavioral abnormalities of Turner mice.
Phenotype | # of animals* (total 33 mice from Tur/+ x Tur/+ matings | ||
---|---|---|---|
8 (24.4%) | 17 (51.5%) | 8 (24.4%) | |
Abnormal Preyer reflex response: | |||
7 weeks old | 0 | 12 (weaker, 70.6%) | 8 (no response, 100%) |
Reduced pinna size: | |||
Bilateral reduction | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Unilateral reduction | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Circling response: | |||
5 weeks old | 0 | 2 (11.8%) | 8 (100%) |
7 weeks old | 0 | 17 (100%) | 8 (100%) |
Headtossing: | |||
5 weeks old | 0 | 0 | 8 (100%) |
7 weeks old | 0 | 12 (mild, 70.6%) | 8 (severe, 100%) |
Abnormal reaching response: | |||
7 weeks old | 12 (70.6%) | 8 (100%) |
* Animals that exhibited headtossing also failed in reaching response, exhibited circling behavior and have an abnormal Preyer reflex.
