Mutations, alleles, and phenotypes

All mutations/alleles(47) : Gene trapped(35) Targeted(12)
Incidental mutations (data from Mutagenetix , APF )
 

Homozygous targeted mutants display deficient long-term hippocampal potentiation (LTP) and specific impairment in spatial learning; heterozygotes show decreased fear response and increased defensive aggression, which is more pronounced in homozygotes.
