Information from provider
| Provider | Karen Steel |
| Provider affiliation | King |
| Genetic information | A missense variant in the gene Klhl18, g.9:110455454C>A, causing an amino acid change of p.(Val55Phe) (ENSMUST00000068025) |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Homozygotes for lowf show progressive increase in thresholds for an Auditory Brainstem Response to sounds.Heterozygous:No obvious defects, but heterozygotes for lowf do show increased anomalies of stereocilia defects in inner ear hair cells. |
| Breeding history | After arising as a spontaneous mutation, the mutation was maintained for several years by intercrossing within a closed colony on a C57BL/6N background. The original targeted mutation of Mab21l4 (also known as 2310007B03Rik) is present in the colony but does not segregate with the phenotype. |
