Information from provider
| Provider | Chris Esapa |
| Provider affiliation | Mammalian Genetics Unit, Medical Research Council |
| Genetic information | This strain is an ENU-induced mouse model for autosomal recessive kyphosis due to a novel Tyr209Asn mutation in Npr3. Experiments in cultured cells indicate that the mutant protein is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Homozygotes have a small and elongated body, kyphosis and long bones.Heterozygous:No phenotype in heterozygotes. This is a recessive mutation. |
| Breeding history | This mutation arose in a BALB/cByJ male treated with ENU. Subsequently backcrossed onto C57BL/6J for 2 generations. |
