| Genetic information | Exon 2 including the whole open reading frame of gap junction membrane channel protein beta 1 (Gjb1; connexin 32) is homologously replaced by a selection marker gene (neomycin resistance) which is still in the genome. |
| Phenotypic information | Degeneration of myelin in older mice. |
| Breeding history | After blastocyst injection the chimeras were bred with C57BL/6NCrl to obtain brown coat coloured offspring. This brown offspring was backcrossed to C57BL/6NCrl more than three times. |
