MUTANT LINE   90TNI Contact TMGC for ordering information
Synopsis:

High frequency hearing loss

Detailed Phenotype Description:

This autosomal recessive mutation (tmgc53), linked to Chr 10, was detected in the progeny of C3.BLiA males given 150 mg/kg ENU. We have tested a total of 12 mice in only 2 generations of the 90TNI pedigree. This pedigree shows significant high-frequency hearing loss at 32 kHz (Mutant Detail PDF). When compared to all other TNW/I pedigrees, ABR thresholds of 90TNI are elevated significantly at 32 kHz (2.6 x SD), but insignificantly at click (0.1 x SD), 8 kHz (0.8 x SD) and 16 kHz (0.9 x SD). High-frequency hearing loss is very common among human patients with progressive hearing impairment and age-related hearing loss. Thus this mutant could provide a model for such a common disorder.
