Information

A/J inbred strain is introgressed into the BL6 genetic background to generate Bla/J mice. Histological changes (centronucleated fibers and inflammation) in certain muscle (e.g., psoas, quadriceps etc) are evident around two months of age and functional deficits between 4-6 months of age. These mice are homozygous, and no genotyping is needed. C57BL/6 mice are the wild-type controls for this model. We have systematically phenotyped this model at multiple age groups.
