Notes

A remutation at the Chx10 locus occurred in NOR/LtDn, a genetically contaminated subline of the nonobese diabetic NOD/Lt strain. Eye phenotypes in homozygotes resemble the eye abnormalities reported in Chx10^or-J/Chx10^or-J homozygotes. NOR-Chx10^or-2J/Chx10^or-2J homozygotes of both sexes are infertile and show defective germ cell maturation. Chx10^or-J/Chx10^or-2J heterozygotes are fully fertile in both sexes (J:30714).
