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.
