Detailed Description

Mice that are homozygous for this hypomorphic allele are characterized by an abnormal adhesion between the tongue and palate. Approximately 63% of E18.5 mutants exhibit a partial fusion of the anterior palate, the remaining mutants exhibit a complete cleft of the secondary palate. Oral adhesions between the palate and tongue are first observed by E12.5. In addition, a small number of mutants exhibit syndactyly, short forelimbs, curly tail, and hind limbs that appear fused to the body. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of cleft palate and Van der Woude Syndrome.

In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.

Development

This missense point mutation was generated by ethylnitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis in A/J males in the laboratory of Dr. David Beier at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Mutagenized males were outcrossed to FVB/NJ females and descendants of the mutagenized males were selected for craniofacial clefting. The mutation results in a change from proline to leucine at amino acid position 39; the same residue mutated in a family with Van der Woude Syndrome. This strain has been backcrossed to FVB/NJ for a minimum 5 of generations. Upon arrival, mice were bred to FVB/NJ for at least 1 generation to establish the colony.

We will fulfill your order by providing at least two carriers for each strain ordered. The total number, sex, and genotypes provided will vary, although typically 8 or more animals are provided. Please check genotypes which will be recovered. While the genotypes of all animals produced will be communicated to you prior to scheduling shipment, the genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme and genotypes described in the strain description. Animals are typically ready to ship in 11-14 weeks. If a second recovery is required to produce the minimum number of animals, then delivery time would increase to approximately 25 weeks. If we fail to produce animals of the correct genotype, you will not be charged. We 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.

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.
