| Primary Identifier | MGI:3654129 | Allele Type | QTL |
| Gene | Spmd2 | Inheritance Mode | Other (see notes) |
| Strain of Origin | Smt | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Spmd2 exhibits additive inheritance. Spmd2 and Spmd4 on chr 13 interact epistatically. Animals homozygous for Smt-derived alleles at Spmd2 and Spmd4 exhibit significantly increased germ cell degeneration. |
| molecularNote | This allele confers increased germ cell degeneration during spermatogenesis compared to M. m. molossinus. |
