Gene & Allele Details

Allele Symbol Hps4le
Allele Name light ear
Common Name(s) le;
Strain of OriginC3H/HeJ
Gene Symbol and Name Hps4, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 4 homolog (human)
Chromosome 5
Gene Common Name(s) AU040608; C130020P05Rik; KIAA1667; LE; RIKEN cDNA C130020P05 gene; bK1048E9.4; bK1048E9.5; expressed sequence AU040608; le; light ear; mKIAA1667;
Molecular Note The underlying mutation responsible for the phenotype in the light ear mouse was identified as a C to T substitution that resulted in a nonsense mutation, Gly50stop. The absence of protein in homozygous mutant animals was demonstrated through immunoblotanalysis. [MGI Ref ID J:75144]
 
Allele Symbol Pde6brd1
Allele Name retinal degeneration 1
Common Name(s) rd; rd-1; rd1; rodless retina;
Gene Symbol and Name Pde6b, phosphodiesterase 6B, cGMP, rod receptor, beta polypeptide
Chromosome 5
Gene Common Name(s) CSNB3; PDEB; Pdeb; RP40; nmf137; phosphodiesterase, cGMP, rod receptor, beta polypeptide; r; rd; rd-1; rd1; rd10; retinal degeneration; retinal degeneration 1; retinal degeneration 10;
Molecular Note Two mutations have been identified in rd1 mice. A murine leukimia virus (Xmv-28) insertion in reverse orientation in intron 1 is found in all mouse strains with the rd1 phenotype. Further, a nonsense mutation (C to A transversion) in codon 347 that results in a truncation eliminating more than half of the predicted encoded protein, including the catalytic domain has also been identified in all rd1 strains of mice. A specific degradation of mutant transcript during or after pre-mRNA splicing is suggested. [MGI Ref ID J:11513] [MGI Ref ID J:4366] [MGI Ref ID J:51361]

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

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.
