| Genetic information | Knock-in mice, in which the pathogenic mutation p(M665R), associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 28, has been introduced in the murine Afg3l2 gene. Heterozygotes develop ataxia at late age (>18 months). Homozygotes die perinatally. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Homozygotes die before or within hours of birth. Analysis of E16.5 embryos showed diffuse cardiac atrophy.Heterozygous:Heterozygotes developed ataxia at 18 months of age. |
| Breeding history | Founders have been backcrossed with C57BL/6 wild-type mice for more than 17 generations. |
