Spontaneous (Null/Knockout) | Clic5 | chloride intracellular channel 5 |
Mice homozygous for this spontaneous recessive mutation of the Clic5 gene are profoundly deaf by 49 days of age, as assessed by ABR, and exhibit vestibular dysfunction with circling behavior, head tossing, and swimming in circles at the surface of the water. These abnormalities do not result from defects of the utricles or saccules, which appear normal in whole mount images. The jitterbug 2 Jackson mutation is a 6,908 bp intragenic deletion that encompasses exon 3 but leaves the sequence in-frame so deletes 42 amino acids. This allele appears to have an earlier onset of deafness than that caused by the Clic5jb allele.
The jitterbug 2 Jackson mutation arose spontaneously on the C57BL/6J background at The Jackson Laboratory in 2005, was backcrossed once to C57BL/6J and was maintained by sibling intercrossing until sperm was cryopreserved from homozygous males.

Molecular Note | This spontaneous mutation is a 6908 bp deletion from Chr17:44240906 - Chr17:44247814 (GRCm38), which includes all of exon 3 and flanking intron regions, removing 42 amino acids but not changing the reading frame. |

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.
