Three studies were undertaken to investigate some features of the reproductive activity of female staggerer mice of the C57BL/6 strain. It was found that in the staggerer female, (1) vaginal opening and onset of vaginal estrous cycling were delayed; (2) the vaginal estrous cycle was irregular and characterized by abnormally prolonged diestrous and estrous phases, and (3) the reproductive life span of the mutant female was confined to a 3-month period after puberty. The abnormalities observed in sexual functions suggest a specific influence of the staggerer gene on reproductive activity.
开展了三项研究以调查C57BL/6品系雌性蹒跚小鼠生殖活动的一些特征。结果发现，在蹒跚雌性小鼠中，（1）阴道开口和阴道发情周期的开始延迟；（2）阴道发情周期不规则，其特征为动情间期和发情期异常延长，并且（3）突变雌性小鼠的生殖寿命局限于青春期后的3个月期间。在性功能方面观察到的异常表明蹒跚基因对生殖活动有特定影响。
