Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the dystonia musculorum-J spontaneous mutation (Dstdt-J)are recognizable at 7 to 10 days of age by clasping of the hindlimbs when mice are lifted by the tail. There is increasing incoordination with alternating hyperextension and hyperflexion of the limbs but no obvious paralysis. Many affected animals die before weaning, but some survive several months. The clinical condition becomes relatively stationary after the first phase of deterioration. Histologically, the nervous system shows degenerative changes and progressive loss of nerve fibers in the central and peripheral branches of the sensory ganglion cells of the spinal and cranial nerves, in the central sensory pathways, and in peripheral sensory structures such as skin, Pacinian corpuscles, and muscle spindles. In the PNS, there is some segmental demyelination and other abnormalities of the myelin sheaths.

Strain Development
The dystonia Jackson (dt-J) mutation arose spontaneously in 1957 in the C3HeB/FeDi inbred strain when that strain was at F20. dt-J was initially named athetoid (ah) but was changed to dt-J in 1964 when D. S. Falconer in Edinburgh performed a positive allele test with the original dystonia (dt) mutation (Lane 1958; Falconer 1964). The dt-J allele was maintained heterozygote x heterozygote via test breeding then at F33 was changed to homozygous ovarian transplant backcrossed to C57BL/6J followed by intercross. This reached F33N4 in 1973. At F33N11 the strain was outcrossed once to C3HeB/FeJ A/A, intercrossed once and subsequently maintained by homozygous ovarian transplant crossed to B6C3Fe-a/a F1 then intercross. In 1979 this strain reached N6, in 1983 it reached N18, and in 2004 it reached N59.

Supply Notes Cryorecovery of Strains Needing Progeny Testing.
The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two untested males and two untested females (two pairs) will be recovered, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the overall recovery time to approximately 25 weeks. However, all pups recovered will be sent.

Progeny testing is required to identify the genotype of mice of this strain, as a genotyping assay is not available. This type of testing involves breeding the recovered animals and assessing the phenotype of the offspring in order to identify animals carrying the mutation of interest. We can perform the progeny testing for you as a service or we can ship all recovered animals (at least two untested pairs) to you for progeny testing at your facility. If you perform the progeny testing, there is NO guarantee that a carrier will be identified. If we perform progeny testing as a service, additional breeding time will be required. In this case, when a male and female (one pair) are identified that carry the mutation, they and their offspring will be shipped. Delivery time for strains requiring progeny testing often exceeds 25 weeks and may take 12 months or more due to the difficulties in breeding some strains. The progeny testing cost is in addition to the recovery cost and is based on the number of boxes used and the time taken to produce the mice identified as carrying the mutation. Please note that identified pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Please contact Customer Service for more information on the cost of progeny testing for a strain: Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845.

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.
