003301 (C57BL/6J x C3H-Eya1bor)F1/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
The human Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome is generally a dominant disorder with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity resulting from null mutations in the EYA1 gene. The mouse Eya1bor allele is primarily a recessive hypomorphic mutation. Nevertheless, homozygous mice with this hypomorphic allele offer a good model for Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome. The phenotype of Eya1bor/Eya1bor mice parallels that of the human Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome and both are thought to result from reduced gene dosage. The Eya1bor/Eya1bor mice are deaf and their behavior is marked by circling and head-bobbing. They lack all but the most basal one-quarter of the cochlea, and the organ of Corti is completely absent. They have foreshortened, narrower semicircular canals and in some the common crus is incomplete. Their kidneys are absent or dysmorphic with greater severity generally on the left side. Fewe .....

The human Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome is generally a dominant disorder with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity resulting from null mutations in the EYA1 gene. The mouse Eya1bor allele is primarily a recessive hypomorphic mutation. Nevertheless, homozygous mice with this hypomorphic allele offer a good model for Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome. The phenotype of Eya1bor/Eya1bor mice parallels that of the human Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome and both are thought to result from reduced gene dosage. During mapping crosses using CAST/Ei and C3H/HeJ, it was found that genetic background impacts both the kidney and inner ear phenotypes, and modifier genes in humans also may impact the severity of Branchio-Oto-Renal-Syndrome.
