Heterozygotes of this strain develop anemia and are highly susceptible to spontaneous intestinal adenoma formation. Homozygous C57BL/6J-ApcMin/J mice are not viable. The increased incidence of colorectal adenomas renders these mice a useful model of colon cancer. A small number of C57BL/6J-ApcMin heterozygous female mice develop mammary tumors.

The C57BL/6J-ApcMin/J strain is highly susceptible to spontaneous intestinal adenoma formation. Homozygous mice are not viable. It was initially reported that one hundred percent of the C57BL/6J-ApcMin heterozygous mice raised on a high fat diet develop in excess of 30 adenomas throughout the intestinal tract and most die by 120 days of age. Heterozygotes also develop anemia. (Moser et al., 1990, Su et al., 1992). A small number of C57BL/6J-ApcMin heterozygous female mice develop mammary tumors. A subsequent publication indicates that this strain may carry a dominant modifier (Mom2) gene that reduces the number and incidence of polyp formation in C57BL/6J-ApcMin heterozygous mice (Silverman et al., 2002).

Following N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) treatments to induce mutations in founder C57BL/6J mice, a forward genetic screen identified a AKR/JxB6 F1 female displaying circling behavior. This female was mated to C57BL/6J males. Some progeny from this backcross developed adult onset anemia and multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min). A tumor suppressor gene, Apc (adenomatosis polyposis coli), mutations of which have been identified in colorectal cancers and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), was found to cosegregate with the Min phenotype. Sequencing of Apc identified a T to A transversion of nucleotide 2549 resulting in a Leucine to a Stop codon nonsense mutation. The circling behavior was determined to be a separate heritable trait and was eliminated through subsequent crosses to C57BL/6J. These ApcMin mice maintained on a C57BL/6J background when they were sent to The Jackson Laboratory in 1992.

| Strain of Origin | C57BL/6J |
| Chromosome | 18 |
| Molecular Note | A transversion point mutation that alters nucleotide 2549 from a T to an A (mRNA: NM_001360980.1; protein: NM_007462.3). This converts codon 850 from one encoding a leucine to a stop codon (p.Leu850*), truncating the expected polypeptide. |

This strain is maintained by breeding heterozygote males to C57BL/6J females. Female heterozygotes are not recommended because anemia and intestinal adenomas interfere with pregnancy. Breeding performance in heterozygote males declines as anemia and tumors develop.
When using the multiple intestinal neoplasia mouse strain in a publication, please cite the originating article(s) and include JAX stock #002020 in your Materials and Methods section.

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 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.
