The hypothyroid 3 Jackson spontaneous deletion provides a model for type 1 congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism, with less impairment of fertility than that reported for other Tshr alleles.

Spontaneous (Not Specified) | Tshr | thyroid stimulating hormone receptor |
Hypothyroid 3 Jackson homozygotes, like other thyroid stimulating hormone receptor mutants, are proportional dwarfs, approximately half the size of normal littermates. They are particularly fragile at around three weeks of age and many die at that time. Those that survive through wean age usually survive to adulthood and live a relatively normal lifespan, although there is some premature death in the adult population of homozygotes. On this background both male and female homozygotes have successfully bred with BALB/cByJ, with approximately half of the pairs set up producing litters, and the number of pups per litter was nearly normal. Heterozygous intercrosses produce fewer than the expected 25% homozygotes, indicative of some prenatal death.
The hypothyroid 3 Jackson mutation arose spontaneously in the CXB10/HiAJ-smrl/GrsrJ strain. This subline has had 3 generations of backcross-intercross breeding to BALB/cByJ by breeding homozygous ovary transplant hosts with BALB/cByJ then intercrossing the obligate heterozygous offspring. The smrl mutation has been bred out of this line. The fertility of homozygotes with this increased contribution of BALB/cByJ has improved fertility, with some homozygous males and some homozygous females successfully breeding without hormone supplements when mated to BALB/cByJ.

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.
