Dp(16)1Yey/Df(16)2Yey mice contain both duplicated and deleted regions involving a segment on Chr 16 defined by the Tiam1 and Kcnj6 genes. These mice may have applications in studies related to understanding the developmental heart defects associated with Down syndrome and Monosomy 21.

This Dp(16)1Yey/Df(16)2Yey mutant strain contains both duplicated and deleted regions involving a segment on mouse Chr 16 defined by the Tiam1 and Kcnj6 genes. This region is one of three regions orthologous to an extra copy of human Chromosome 21 (Hsa21) implicated in heart defects associated with Down Syndrome (DS). Dp(16)2Yey/+ contains 52 genes orthologous to genes on Hsa21. Df(16)2Yey/+ mice, carrying just the deletion, are embryonic lethal. Carrying a copy of the Dp(16)1Yey allele rescues the lethal phenotype.
Chromosome-engineering cassettes were inserted into mouse Chromosome 16 of 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1b-m2-derived AB2.2 embryonic stem (ES) cells, bracketing a span of approximately 5.43 Mb between the T cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 (Tiam1) gene and the potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 6 (Kcnj6) gene. The cassette placed at the proximal locus was targeted upstream of Tiam1 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 Kcnj6 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 16 with the targeted sequence deleted (Df), were injected into C57BL/6J-Tyrc-Brd blastocysts. The resulting chimeric mice were mated to 129Sv mice, and Df(16)2Yey/+ mice were embryonic lethal. Subsequently, Df(16)2Yey/+ chimeric males were crossed to Dp(16)2Yey/+ females (Stock No. 018852), and Dp(16)2Yey/Df(16)2Yey mice were viable. These mice were backcrossed to 129Sv for at least 8 generations. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory these mice were bred to 129S1/SvImJ mice (Stock No. 002448) for at least one generation to establish the colony.

Molecular Note | ES cells were targeted twice with MICER vectors inserting 403 kb upstream of the Tiam1 gene and 155 kb downstream of Kcnj6. Transient transfection using a cre-expression vector resulted in recombination between the two targeted sites creating a duplication/deficiency allele pair. |

When maintaining a live colony, mice must carry both the deficiency and duplication gene sequences. Df(16Tiam1-Kcnj6)7Yey alone results in embryonic lethality.

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.
