Abstract
Muscular dystrophy was found in the SM strain of mice. This defect was shown to be caused by a single autosomal recessive gene allelic with the genes at the dy locus. The dystrophic SM mice may provide a useful animal model for human muscular dystrophy, because SM strain has been selected for small body size and carries rare alleles at several loci.
