Overview

Also Known As: 16p11.2df

These mutant mice possess an engineered deletion spanning approximately 0.39 Mb on mouse Chromosome 7, a region that shares conserved synteny with the Autism spectrum disorders critical interval on human Chromosome 16. This mutant mouse may be useful in studying Autism and other associated disorders.

Detailed Description

These mutant mice possess an engineered deletion spanning approximately 0.39 Mb on mouse Chromosome 7. The region involved encompasses a chromosomal segment, between the GIY-YIG domain containing 2 (Giyd2) gene and the septin 1(Sept1) loci, that shares conserved synteny with the Autism spectrum disorders critical interval on human Chromosome 16 (the 16p11.2 region). Mice homozygous for the deletion are embryonic lethal. Mice carrying one copy of the deletion prove to be viable, but do exhibit some postnatal lethality. It can be expected that approximately half of df/+ mice will be lost between birth and weaning.
These mice exhibit neuroanatomical and behavioral phenotypes reminiscent of human autism. This mutant mouse may be useful in studying Autism and other associated disorders.

(Mice bearing the reciprocal duplication are also available (see Stock No. 013129))

Development

Chromosome-engineering cassettes were inserted into mouse Chromosome 7 of 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1^b-m2-derived AB2.2 embryonic stem (ES) cells, bracketing a span of approximately 0.39 Mb between the GIY-YIG domain containing 2 (Giyd2) gene and the septin 1(Sept1) loci. The cassette placed at the proximal locus contained Giyd2, a puromycin resistance gene, a loxP site, a 5' portion of an hprt minigene and an agouti transgene. The cassette placed at the distal locus contained the Sept1 gene, a tyrosinase minigene, a 3' portion of an hprt minigene, a loxP site and neomycin resistance gene. Double-targeted ES cells were subjected to transient cre recombinase expression with subsequent selection of recombinants by using hypoxanthine aminopterin thymidine (HAT) media. Correctly targeted ES cells, containing one copy of Chromosome 7 with the targeted sequence deleted (df) and one copy with the targeted sequence duplicated (dp), were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts and the resulting chimeric mice were mated to C57BL/6J mice. The resulting offspring were genotyped and maintained as two separate lines of df and dp mice. The df mice were mated to C57BL/6J mice for at least two generations. Males were then sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository. Sperm from these males were frozen. Individual aliquots of the frozen sperm were used to establish df mice on a mixed B6129S genetic background (Stock No. 013128). A frozen sperm aliquot was used to fertilize B6129SF1/J oocytes (Stock No. 101043). The resulting df mice were subsequently bred to B6129SF1/J hybrid mice each generation.

Molecular Note	Chromosome-engineering cassettes were inserted into mouse Chromosome 7, bracketing a span of approximately 0.39 Mb between the SMG1 homolog, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase (Smg1) and the aldolase A, fructose-bisphosphate (Aldoa) loci. The cassette placed at the proximal locus contained Smg1, a puromycin resistance gene, a loxP site, a 3' portion of an hprt minigene and an agouti transgene. The cassette placed at the distal locus contained the Aldoa gene, a tyrosinase minigene, a 5' portion of an hprt minigene, a loxP site and neomycin resistance gene. Double-targeted ES cells were subjected to transient cre recombinase expression with subsequent selection of recombinants by using hypoxanthine aminopterin thymidine (HAT) media to delete the targeted region.

Breeding Considerations

When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice are bred to B6129SF1/J mice (Stock No. 101043) each generation. On a B6;129 mixed genetic background, mice homozygous for the deletion are embryonic lethal. Mice carrying one copy of the deletion prove to be viable, but do exhibit some postnatal lethality. It can be expected that approximately half of df/+ mice will be lost between birth and weaning.

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.
