Genetic Alterations
ENU-induced A to G transition at base pair 101,035,646 (v38) on chromosome 15, or base pair 165,824 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000081 for the Scn8a gene. The mutation corresponds to residue 4,883 in the mRNA sequence NM_001077499 within exon 26 of 27 total exons. The mutation results in a tyrosine (Y) to cysteine (C) substitution at amino acid 1577 (Y1577C) in the SCN8A protein.
Phenotype

Homozygous: Mice exhibited decreased body weights when compensating for age and sex. These mice also had a mild tremor and an ataxic gait.

Heterozygous: No abnormal phenotype detected.

Strain Development
Original mutant was a C57BL/6J G3 ENU-induced mutant; all subsequent crosses to maintain strain were on C57BL/6J background only.
Suggested Control Mice
Wild-type littermates or C57BL/6J mice
