RGD Curation Notes
Note Type Note Reference
strain_characteristics Myelin sheaths were detected in the ventral column at day 1, intracranial optic nerves at 10 days, and corticospinal tracts at 20 days of age. 2317275
strain_life_disease taiep is an acronym for trembling (3-4 wks), ataxia (4 months), immobility (5-6 months), epilepsy (5-6 months) and paresis (7 months onwards) 2317274
strain_other Genes responsible for these phenotypes are localized to a 5.9 cM region around D9Rat44 between the telomere and D9Rat88 2317274
strain_phys_biochem Less than normal amount of myelin is formed and loss of myelin from each region of CNS examined was seen after 1 month of age. 2317275
strain_phys_biochem These phenotypes are caused by progressive accumulation of microtubules in oligodendrocytes that disturb the traffic of microtubule-dependent mRNA 2317274
strain_reproduction These can reproduce and live up to 18 months 2317275
