phenotypes

All mutations/alleles(33) : Gene trapped(29) Targeted(4)
Incidental mutations (data from Mutagenetix , APF )
 

Mice homozygous for a null mutation die around E9.5-10.5. Conditional homozygous null in which the gene is deleted specifically in oligodendrocyte and Schwann cell display dysmyelination of spinal cord and brain white matter, and showed ataxia and tremor.
