| Strain description |
IRD1 mice become spontaneous inheritable rod and cone dysfunction, and they are observed late-onset progressive retinal degeneration. It's considered that the cause of rod dysfunction is the deletion of Trα protein caused by nonsense mutation of Gnat1 gene. The cause of cone dysfunction is unknown. It's considered that this strain is useful for the research of inheritable retinal disease. This strain is derived from Crj:CD-1(ICR). It's possible to supply IRD2 mice observed only rod dysfunction. |
