Most Cby1 (chibby homolog 1 (Drosophila)) targeted mutant homozygotes die before or around weaning age. The mice develop rhinitis and sinusitis and are unable to clear Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria from the nasal cavity. There is a complete absence of mucociliary transport caused by a marked lack of motile cilia in the nasal epithelium. This strain may be a useful model of primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Homozygous targeted mice are runted and demonstrate a failure to thrive. Most die before or around weaning age. Mice surviving after postnatal day 25 (P25) usually recover and apparently have normal life spans. All of the mice develop rhinitis and sinusitis and are unable to clear Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria from the nasal cavity. There is a complete absence of mucociliary transport caused by a marked lack of motile cilia in the nasal epithelium. Anemia and ductal dilation in the pancreas and kidneys is also observed. Homozygous males have compromised fertility. This strain may be useful as a model of primary ciliary dyskinesia.
The four coding exons were replaced by a neomycin resistance cassette using the (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1- Kitl+-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cell line. The strain was backcrossed to C57BL/6 for 5 generations by the donating laboratory.

When maintained as a live colony, heterozygotes may be bred. Homozygotes have a high rate of postnatal mortality. Surviving homozygous males have compromised fertility and homozygous females produce pups, but make poor mothers.

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.
