We have a male and female mouse who had a litter seven weeks ago. We want to breed more mice but are worried that deformities may result from breeding closely linked genetic mice just like with humans. Can this sort of thing happen if you breed brothers and sisters or allow a females father to mate with her?

No
brothers and sisters mate up to 3 weeks old.
prepare for the pitter patter of hundreds of mice very VERY soon
I myself wanted to breed my girl mouse, Pepsi....but one night, i put her in the garage and she *sniff* ELOPED with one of the grungy male mice i my garage.
So we presumed that she is dead...probably had like 30 babies by now.
Well anyway....the moral is:
mice can breed with there bros and sis's and on occasion there will be that one dissapoinment in the family that runs off with another mouse like Pepsi was.
I knew Pepsi had a problem, she enjoyed looking at male mice for sale on the computer WAY too much.
