Description: In 1980, a spontaneous tremor mutant rat was found in the colony of Kyo:Wistar (Yamada, 1985). This disorder was found to be caused by an autosomal recessive gene and was designated tremor (tm). Deletion of Aspa gene was identified in the animal with no aspartoacylase activity in the brain and measurable level of activity in the kidney. TRM was established as a segregating inbred strain. In F18 progeny, a rat which did not have tm mutation was separated and established as a control strain of WTC (NBRP No.0020). (Dec 8, 2010)
