EMMA IDEM:01247
International strain nameC3H.CAnN-Scn8aClth/H
Alternative nameGENA399;Cloth-ears
Strain typeInduced Mutant Strains : Chemically-induced
Allele/Transgene symbolScn8aClth
Gene/Transgene symbolScn8a

Information from provider

ProviderFrancesca Mackenzie
Provider affiliationMRC Mammalian Genetics Unit
Genetic informationCloth-ears mice show progressive semi-dominant deafness and tremors. Positional cloning of Cloth-ears identified a point mutation in the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel type VIII alpha-subunit gene, Scn8a, causing an aspartic acid to valine (D981V) change, six amino acids downstream of the sixth transmembrane segment of the second domain (D2S6).
Phenotypic informationHomozygous:
Homozygotes show severe continuous tremor and deafness.

Heterozygous:
Heterozygotes show sporadic tremor and deafness.
