This Dp(10)2Yey/+ mutant strain contains one copy of mouse Chromosome 10 with the targeted sequence duplicated between, and including, the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 (Prmt2) gene and the pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) kinase (Pdxk) gene. These mice may be useful for understanding developmental and cognitive disabilities associated with Down's Syndrome.

This Dp(10)2Yey/+ mutant strain contains one copy of mouse Chromosome 10 with the targeted sequence duplicated between, and including, the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 (Prmt2) gene and the pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) kinase (Pdxk) gene. Hemizygous mice are viable and fertile. This duplicated region on the mouse chromosome is one of three regions orthologous to an extra copy of human Chromosome 21 (Hsa21) which has been implicated in developmental cognitive disabilities like Down Syndrome (DS). Dp(10)2Yey/+ contains a duplication syntenic to the distal part of human 21q22.3, and carries 41 genes orthologous to genes on Hsa21. When mice carrying this duplication are bred to B6;129-Dp(16Lipi-Zfp295)1Yey/J mice (Stock No. 013530) and B6;129-Dp(17Abcg1-Rrp1b)3Yey/J mice (Stock No. 013531) to create a triple duplication model containing all three Hsa21 regions, the resulting mice exhibit DS related phenotypic defects. These defects include: reduction in body length and weight, hydrocephaly caused by aqueductal stenosis, impaired grip strength, impaired learning, and a deficit in long-term potentiation. 26% of triple duplication offspring die shortly after birth due to heart defects. These mice may be useful for understanding developmental and cognitive disabilities associated with DS.
Chromosome-engineering cassettes were inserted into mouse Chromosome 10 of 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1b-m2-derived AB2.2 embryonic stem (ES) cells, bracketing a span of approximately 2.3 Mb between, and including, the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 (Prmt2) gene and pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) kinase (Pdxk) loci. The cassette placed at the proximal locus was targeted upstream of Prmt2 and contained a neomycin resistance gene, a loxP site, a 5' portion of an HPRT minigene, and a tyrosinase minigene. The cassette placed at the distal locus was targeted downstream of the Pdxk gene and contained an agouti transgene, a 3' portion of an HPRT minigene, a loxP site and puromycin resistance gene. Double-targeted ES cells were transiently transfected with the cre recombinase expression vector pOG231. After subsequent selection of recombinants by using hypoxanthine aminopterin thymidine (HAT) media, correctly targeted ES cells, containing one copy of mouse Chromosome 10 with the targeted sequence duplicated (Dp), were injected into C57BL/6J-Tyrc-Brd blastocysts. The resulting chimeric mice were mated to C57BL/6J mice and were subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6J for at least 3 generations to produce a colony of Dp(10)2Yey/+ mice. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory these mice were bred to C57BL/6J mice (Stock No. 000664) for at least one generation to establish the colony.

Chromosome | 10 |
Molecular Note | Cre mediated chromosomal rearrangement between loxP sites in regions proximal to Prmt2 and distal to Pdxk results in duplication of the genes, including Prmt2 and Pdxk, in this approximately 2.3 Mb region that is syntenic with the distal part of human 21q22.3. |
When maintaining a live colony, hemizygous mice may be bred to non-carrier (wildtype) mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice (Stock No. 000664).

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.
