Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Nkd1tm1Kwha mutation (1 available); any Nkd1 mutation (17 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
reproductive system
• Background Sensitivity: homozygous matings produce fewer litters (6 mating pairs - 1 litter) on 129/SvEv background compared to those of homozygotes on mixed background (6 mating pairs - 19 litters)
• Background Sensitivity: mean litter size of homozygous intercrosses is reduced (1 pup) compared to litters observed on mixed background (5.3 pups) or litters of heterozygous intercrosses regardless of genetic background (4.9-7.3 pups)

skeleton
N
• Background Sensitivity: skeletons show no consistent differences relative to wild-type in terms of bone mass or morphology

growth/size/body
• Background Sensitivity: nasal bones are slightly shortened relative to controls or homozygotes on the mixed background
• Background Sensitivity: 4- to 12-week old pups fed ad libitum show a slight but significant growth retardation (15% in males at 12 weeks, 4.6% in females at 12 weeks) compared to wild-type mice

reproductive system
N
• Background Sensitivity: mice are viable and fertile; average litter size is 7.3
• 3-month old males had similar testis-to-body weight as controls and normal spermatogenesis

craniofacial
• Background Sensitivity: nasal bones are slightly shortened relative to controls or homozygotes on the mixed background

skeleton
• Background Sensitivity: nasal bones are slightly shortened relative to controls or homozygotes on the mixed background

respiratory system
• Background Sensitivity: nasal bones are slightly shortened relative to controls or homozygotes on the mixed background

behavior/neurological
• significantly higher rate of cannabilization of offspring prior to weaning is observed in females having no or one wild-type copy of Nkd1 or Nkd2 (35% of 46 litters of females with one or no wild-type copies of either allele compared to only 14% of 51 litters of Nkd1-null or Nkd2-null homozygous females)
