Most staggerer mutant mice do not mate spontaneously. This deficiency may be attributed to a penile disability (during erection, the penis in extension is directed backward). The main characteristics of this phenomenon and its involvement in the reproduction of the staggerer mutant have been considered in our study. Seventy-four percent (n = 66) of staggerer males presented this temporary abnormality at least once. It appeared when the males were 84 +/- 37-d old (M +/- SD). In most animals the penile abnormality was labile and did not exceed 1 wk duration in 48% (n = 32) of the males. Three males mated in spite of presenting this abnormal erection. Moreover, 25% of males (n = 23) did not present this disability; nevertheless, most of them (91%) still did not reproduce. Other mechanisms are certainly responsible for the inefficient mating. In any case, the influence of penile disability on this deficiency appears to be weak.
