The C57BL/6J-derived congenic interval in this strain includes the recessive Cdh23ahl allele and the dominant MahlC57BL/6J QTL from C57BL/6J backcrossed onto 129S1/SvImJ and bred to homozygosity. This results in the age related hearing loss phenotype on a predominantly 129S1/SvImJ background.

The C57BL/6J-derived congenic interval in this strain includes the recessive Cdh23ahl allele and the dominant MahlC57BL/6J QTL from C57BL/6J backcrossed onto 129S1/SvImJ and bred to homozygosity. This results in the age related hearing loss phenotype on a predominantly 129S1/SvImJ background. RT-PCR transcripts of cochlear extracts from six-week-old homozygotes showed exon skipping, and wild-type Cdh23 transcripts in this strain were approximately 24% of total Cdh23 transcripts. The MahlC57BL/6J QTL ameliorates the hair cell loss and hearing deficit so that progression of hearing loss is less severe than that caused by the c.753A single nucleotide variant, which is equivalent to the Cdh23ahl molecular lesion, on the 129S background (Stock No. 016208). Relative to that single nucleotide variant homozygous for the Mahl129S1/SvImJ allele, this congenic has lower ABR thresholds at 8 and 16 kHz up to 9 months of age, and 32 kHz up to 6 months of age. Inner and outer cochlear hair cell loss at 9 months of age is more severe than in 129S1/SvImJ controls, but less severe than in 6 month old c.753A point mutants on the 129S background.
A segment of Chromosome 10 containing the Cdh23ahl allele was backcrossed from C57BL/6J onto 129S1/SvImJ for 10 generations and then sibling intercrossed to homozygosity. The proximal breakpoint of the fixed congenic interval is between rs3661754 and rs3696307 and the distal breakpoint is between rs257098870 and rs29330969.

Molecular Note | Genetic complementation tests have shown allelism between the mdfw (modifier of deaf waddler) locus and the ahl locus. Further analysis has shown this is caused by a G to A transition at coding nucleotide position 753 of Cdh23 (SNP rs257098870). This hypomorphic allele changes splice donor site G-GT to A-GT, causing frame skipping of exon 7. This is predicted to delete part of the 2nd and 3rd ectodomains and cause reduced message stability. Twenty-seven strains classified with ahl and carrying the 753A allele include: CD-1, RBF/DnJ, PL/J, AKR/J, RF/J, BALB/cBy, A/WySnJ, P/J, SENCARA/PtJ, DBA/1J, ALS/LtJ, C58/J, C57BLKS/J, 129P1/ReJ, C57BR/cd, SKH2/J, BUB/Bn, MA/MyJ, LP/J, 129X1/SvJ, NOR/LtJ, A/J, C57BL/6, NOD/LtJ, DBA/2J, ALR/LtJ, C57L/J. Strains classified with ahl that DO NOT carry this mutation include: 129S1/SvImJ, C3H/HeSnJ, I/LnJ, YBR/Ei, MRL/MpJ. |

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.
