Detailed Description

This mutant offers a model for X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets. The serum phosphorus (2.95 mg/dL) in hemizygous males is lower than that found in hypophosphatemia, hypophosphatemia 2 Jackson, or gyro hemizygous males. The skeletal defects include shortened long bones and craniofacial defects and hemizygous males have cochlear degeneration and a heightened auditory brainstem response threshold, higher than that in other Phex mutants. The heightened ABR threshold is dependent upon a modifier that is absent in BALB/cByJ. Consistent with vestibular dysfunction, approximately half of the hemizygous males and some of the heterozygous females display circling behavior, and in hemizygous males head bobbing or unstable gait have also been noted. Hemizygous males are mildly growth retarded, with a squared and shortened body, and shortened hind limbs and tail. While some heterozygous females display circling and growth retardation, not all do and they are more difficult to distinguish from wildtype than are heterozygous hypophosphatemia 2 Jackson heterozygotes.

Development

The Hyp-Duk mutation arose spontaneously in a BALB/cAnBomUrd subline bearing a nude (Foxn1) mutation in the laboratory of Susan Poulton at Duke University. In Sept 1998 BALB/AnBomUrd mice segregating for both nude and the Hyp-Duk mutation at generation F64 were received at The Jackson Laboratory, sibling bred, and re-derived. Through selective sibling crosses the nude mutation was bred out of this strain and the Hyp-Duk mutation maintained. The strain continued to be maintained through sibling inbreeding.

Research Areas By Phenotype

This mouse can be used to support research in many areas including:

Mammalian Phenotype Terms by Genotype

The following phenotype information is associated with a similar, but not exact match to this JAX^® Mice strain

Genotype: Phex^Hyp-Duk/Y
B6.C-Phex/J

craniofacial phenotype

abnormal cranium morphology
- slightly abnormal shape

growth/size/body region phenotype

decreased body size

hearing/vestibular/ear phenotype

abnormal otic capsule morphology
- by one month of age the otic capsule is markedly thickened and surrounded by non-mineralized bone, similar to that seen on the BALB/cUrd background

increased or absent threshold for auditory brainstem response
- Background Sensitivity - although on the C67BL/6J background the ABR threshold is normal in younger mice, at over 2 months of age some unilateral increase in threshold of 10-15 dB SPL above normal is found so the hearing loss is much less severe than on the BALB/cUrd background

mammalian phenotype

behavior/neurological phenotype
- Background Sensitivity - startle response is normal and no head-bobbing or circling are seen

hearing/vestibular/ear phenotype
- Background Sensitivity - startle response is normal and no head-bobbing or circling are seen
- Background Sensitivity - ABR recordings at 21 to 50 days of age are normal, cochlear ducts at 4 months of age do not show endolymphatic hydrops or spiral ganglion cell degeneration

skeleton phenotype

abnormal cranium morphology
- slightly abnormal shape

The following phenotype relates to a compound genotype created using this strain

Genotype: Phex^Hyp-Duk/Y
involves: BALB/cAnBomUrd

adipose tissue phenotype

decreased total body fat amount
- a significant increase in lean body mass is seen compared to controls

growth/size/body region phenotype

decreased body weight
- all males have significantly lower body weights, ~25% less than controls

postnatal growth retardation
- all males are mildly growth retarded in overall body size with a squared trunk

hearing/vestibular/ear phenotype

ear inflammation
- by 40 days of age most hemizygotes have severe endolymphatic hydrops with distension of Reissner's membrane
- some hemizygotes show mild apical hydrops at 21 to 25 days of age, but this is not accompanied by hair cell loss and the endolymphatic duct appears normal along its entire course with no occlusion or dilation
- by 90 days of age severe hydrops in all parts of the labyrinth is found and Reissner's membrane is displaced

increased or absent threshold for auditory brainstem response
- mean auditory brainstem response thresholds are also significantly higher than other Phex male mutants (Phex^Hyp, Phex^Hyp-2J, Gy)
- mean auditory brainstem response thresholds are significantly higher than controls
- this difference from other Phex mutants but not from wild-type controls disappeared when Phex^Hyp-Duk was outcrossed to BALB/cByJ

organ of Corti degeneration
- degeneration is obvious in the apical turn of the cochlea but decreases towards the base

unilateral deafness

abnormal cochlea morphology
- endolymph volume appears larger in the cochleas, resulting in increased scala media, decreased scala vestibule and displacement of Reissner's membrane which separates these

impaired hearing
- ABR assessment shows that at 21 days of age most hemizygotes have mild to moderate unilateral hearing loss, by 25 days of age the majority have bilateral hearing loss exceeding that of controls by 30 dB, and hearing loss is progressive with onset of inner ear dysfunction centered between 25 and 30 days of age
- ear dysfunction centered between 25 and 30 days of age

abnormal inner ear morphology

abnormal vestibular saccule morphology
- in some instances at 90 days of age the saccule is ruptured apparently due to hydrops

abnormal otic capsule morphology
- the otic bony capsule of hemizygotes is thickened and surrounded by non-mineralized bone at around 25 days of age

abnormal scala tympani morphology

immune system phenotype

ear inflammation
- by 90 days of age severe hydrops in all parts of the labyrinth is found and Reissner's membrane is displaced

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. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
