Genetic information | An frt site and a floxed hygromycin resistance-STOP cassette were inserted in intron 14; additionally a GTG to GAG mutation was created in codon 600 and another frt site was inserted into intron 15. This results in an amino acid substitution of aspartic acid for valine at position 600 and an frt flanked exon 15. RT-PCR analysis indicates that the mutant allele is expressed at about 5-10% the level of the wild-type allele before Cre-mediated excision of the hygromycin-STOP cassette. |
Phenotypic information | This targeted allele, before Cre- or Flp-mediated recombination, allows low levels of expression of B-Raf(V600E). B-Raf(+/LSLV600E) mice are viable and display several of the characteristic features observed in cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome patients, including reduced life span, small size, facial dysmorphism, cardiomegaly, and epileptic seizures. In addition, B-Raf(+/LSLV600E) mice develop neuroendocrine tumors, a pathology not observed in CFC patients. The severity of the phenotype depends on the genetic background being more severe in animals with higher C57BL/6 contribution and milder in animals with more CD1 contribution. Never crossed to homozygosity, probably embryonic lethal. |
Breeding history | Chimeras were crossed with C57BL/6J females for germ line transmission analysis. Line was maintained in heterozygosis. The genetic background involves 129S1/Sv; 129X1/SvJ; C57BL/6J and CD1. The CD1 genetic background was introduced to reduce the severity of the phenotype, otherwise the line was almost impossible to maintain. |
