| Genetic information | ENU-induced mutation in Cnga1 gene (Tyr509Cys): this mutation leads to the degeneration of the photoreceptors in the retina. 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 information | Homozygous:Photoreceptor degeneration.Heterozygous:No obvious phenotype. |
| Breeding history | Established Cnga1 mice (from ENU cryo-archived F1 founder male mice) were repeatedly outcrossed to C57BL/6J mice in order to eliminate unwanted ENU mutations and the Pde6brd1 mutation, which is present in C3H strains and responsible for retinal degeneration (“rd1 free”). |
