Stock number: 013611
Research areas: Cardiovascular Research, Developmental Biology Research, Internal/Organ Research

Description

This Sufu mutation was identified in a screen of ENU-induced mutations and may be useful in studies of congenital heart disease.

The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee that cryorecovery of G1 sperm from the Bench to Bassinet (B2B) collection will be successful or that the anticipated phenotype or genotype will be obtained. The cryorecovery fee for this effort will not be refunded or prorated if the recovery is unsuccessful or is in any way unsatisfactory. Genotyping will be the responsibility of the Purchaser.

Detailed description

This T-to-A point mutation at position 5503 of the Sufu (suppressor of fused homolog (Drosophila)) cDNA was identified in an ENU screen for recessive cardiovascular development phenotypes in Dr. Cecilia Lo's laboratory, NHLBI Cardiovascular Development Consortium (CvDC). It was recovered from G1 sperm and associated with the phenotype described described here. Because G1 sperm were cryopreserved, additional incidental mutations are also segregating in this strain.

Homozygotes demonstrate cardiovascular defects that involve a double outlet right ventricle (DORV), overriding aorta, perimembranous and muscular ventricular septal defect (pmVSD, mVSD), and high take-off coronary arteries. Polydactyly, microcephaly, micrognathia, cleft palate, and dome-shaped heads are also seen.

Development

This ENU-induced mutation was created and maintained on a C57BL/6J genetic background by the NHLBI Cardiovascular Development Consortium (CvDC), Bench to Bassinet Program. A T-to-A single point mutation at position 530 of the cDNA (c.T530A, NM_001025391) was discovered through whole exome, high throughput sequencing. This mutation is predicted to cause a methionine to lysine amino acid substitution at position 177 of the encoded protein (p.M177K).

Symbol: Sufu^b2b273Clo
Name: Bench to Bassinet Program (B2B/CVDC), mutation 273 Cecilia Lo
MGI accession ID: MGI:5313712
Generation method: Chemically induced (ENU)
Marker symbol: Sufu
Marker name: SUFU negative regulator of hedgehog signaling
Marker synonyms: 2810026F04Rik; b2b273Clo; BCNS2; JBTS32; PRO1280; Su(Fu); SUFUH; SUFUXL
Chromosome: 19
Strain of origin: C57BL/6J
Molecular note: This ENU-induced mutation was isolated in a screen at the University of Pittsburgh. The molecular lesion is a T to A substitution at coding nucleotide 530 in exon 4 of the cDNA (c.530T>A, NM_001025391). This changes the methionine residue to lysine at position 177 of the encoded protein (p.M177K).
General note: Summative Diagnosis:
Cardiovascular defect: Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV), overriding aorta, perimembranous and muscular ventricular septal defect (pmVSD, mVSD), and high take-off coronary arteries.
Noncardiovascular defects: Polydactyly, microcephaly, micrognathia, cleft palate, dome shaped head.

Fyler Codes
The Fyler code developed by The Boston Children's Heart Foundation in Boston Children's Hospital provides a hierarchical clinical diagnosis of congenital cardiovascular defects and other disorders. These codes are used to delineate pathology in the mutant mouse models that parallel human disease and can be cross referenced to the International Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Code (IPCCC) (http://www.ipccc.net/).

Fyler Code ID	Code Description

1320	Ventricular septal defect, muscular
2230	Coronary fistula (arterio-venous or arterio-cameral)
3804	Congenital heart disease
4103	Polydactyly
