Allele Name	patch
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	Pdgfr^Ph
Gene Symbol and Name	Ph, patch deletion region
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	C57BL/Gr
Chromosome	5
General Note	Repulsion double heterozygotes of Ph and the allele Kit^W-ct at the closely linked Kit locus (Ph +/+ Kit^W-ct) are more anemic than Kit heterozygotes (+ Kit^W-ct/+ +) alone, have significantly raised leucocyte counts, and are unduly sensitive to whole body X-irradiation, indicating that the Ph locus exerts some control over hematopoiesis (J:7216). Studies of Ph homozygous embryos suggest that Ph protein is required for normal development of non-neuronal neural crest-derived structures (J:1107) and visceral endoderm and mesoderm derivatives (J:1108).
Molecular Note	A deletion region including the Pdgfra gene. Precise breakpoints have not been mapped, but does not extend into the coding sequences of the adjacent Kit gene. However, expression of Kit is altered in these mutants.

The average number of mice provided from recovery of our cryopreserved strains is 10. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 10 and 14 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks.

The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.

Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice. Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation.

Payment Terms and Conditions

Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.
