Genetic informationUnknown mutation. Complex genetics, problems in penetrance observed.

Disclaimer - Special restrictions:

1) Mutant development was phenotype driven. Although for some mutant lines, linkage data and the molecular characterization of the causative mutation has been published, EMMA has not genotyped the strains and can not provide genotyping protocols.
2) Some lines showed low penetrance of the phenotype.
3) Only sperm available. Rederivation service can not be offered.
4) EMMA quality control standards may not apply for these strains.
5) EMMA has not verified the breeding performance and the genetic background of the strains.

The genotype/phenotype of the mice is not confirmed by INFRAFRONTIER/EMMA. We strongly recommend that the recipient confirms genotype/phenotype upon receipt.
Phenotypic informationHomozygous:
Total cataract, progressive with age.

Heterozygous:
None.
Breeding historyThe mutants occurred spontaneously in the colony of Dr. Viviane Labrie (Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto). After 5 generations of backcrossing to C57BL/6, the mice were sent to Jochen Graw at the Helmholtz Center Munich in April 2007. Since than, they were kept in brother x sister mating. Homozygous mutants have not been identified; it seems to be rather polygenic.

Order

Availabilities

Requesting frozen sperm or embryos is generally advisable wherever possible, in order to minimise the shipment of live mice.

Due to the dynamic nature of our processes strain availability may change at short notice. The local repository manager will advise you in these circumstances.

* In addition users have to cover all the shipping costs (including the cost for returning dry-shippers, where applicable).
