grey with white spots, thin wavy coat
Related Genotype: a/a fz Mlphln/fz Mlphln Ednrbs/Ednrbs Cdh23v/+

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for fz, Mlphln, and Ednrbs, and is segregating for Cdh23v.

Strain Description
This strain was originally used as a linkage stock for gene mapping. It is homozygous for several visible recessive mutations all located on different chromosomes including nonagouti (a), fuzzy (fz), leaden (Mlphln), and piebald (Ednrbs) and is segregating for the neurological mutation, waltzer (Cdh23v). Homozygous waltzer mice show the circling, head-tossing, deafness, and hyperactivity typical of the circling mutants. Abnormalities of the inner ear include degeneration of the organ of Corti, spiral ganglion, stria vascularis, and saccular macula. Homozygous piebald mice show irregular white spotting, the amount of which is greatly influenced by minor modifying genes. Homozygous piebald mice have dark eyes. The white areas of the coat are completely lacking in melanocytes and there is a reduction in the number of melanocytes in the choroid layer of the eye.

General Note Viability and breeding ability are somewhat less than normal. Homozygotes show the typical circling, head-tossing, deafness, and hyperactivity of the circling mutants. Most of them are deaf from the beginning. Abnormalities of the inner ear include degeneration of the organ of Corti, spiral ganglion, stria vascularis, and saccular macula. Double heterozygotes with shaker-1 (Cdh23v/+ Myo7ash1/+) are deaf beginning at 3 to 6 months. They have changes similar to those of the homozygotes in the organ of Corti, stria vascularis, and spiral ganglion, but less severe and with much later onset (J:13130)(J:15164).
Molecular Note A single G nucleotide insertion at position 889 is predicted to cause a frameshift and premature termination of the encoded protein. [J:69985] [J:73941]

General Note Also called piebald spotting. This is a very old mutation of the mouse fancy, and was described in the scientific literature as early as 1920 (J23183). Some piebalds in existing stocks may be of independent origin. Homozygotes show irregular white spotting, the amount of which is greatly influenced by minor modifying genes (J:12952). Homozygotes have dark eyes. The white areas of the coat are completely lacking in melanocytes, and there is a reduction in the number of melanocytes in the choroid layer of the eye (J:15014, J:12970). There may also be defects in the structure of the iris, suggesting that pigment cells make some structural or inductive contribution to normal development (J:13123).Homozygotes may develop megacolon which is always associatedwith lack of ganglion cells in the distal portion of the colon. The incidence of megacolon is also affected by minor modifying genes (J:15014). Pigment cells and enteric ganglion cells of the colon are both derived from the neural crest, and Mayer (J:12725) has shown by explantation of embryonic tissues that the defect leading to white spotting is in the neural crest rather than in the skin. The defect probably consists of failure of pigment cells to differentiate in certain tissue environments rather than in failure to migrate (J:5036). The distribution of white areas in the skin and other organs is probably due to normal regional differences in these tissues in capacity to support pigmentation and not to regional heterogeneity among the pigment cells themselves (J:5220, J:5036, J:5060, J:5782).The piebald mutation was shown to be linked closely with Hr (J:299), later mapped to Chr 14 (J:52911). The localization has been refined in studies of induced mutations, using an intersubspecific backcross (J:16291).
Molecular Note This mutation is allelic to a targeted mutation for this gene. Homozygous mice produce approximately 25% of the normal levels of transcript from this allele. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that no alterations in the coding sequence would result in any alteration of the amino acid sequence. A 5.5 kb retrotransposon-like element is found in intron 1. About 75% of the mRNA produced is an aberrant 6.5 kb form lacking exons 2-6 but containing exon 1. The remaining 25% of the mRNA formed is of normal, 4.4 kb, size. [J:110573] [J:22206] [J:56133]

Gene Symbol and Name Mlph, melanophilin
Chromosome 1
Gene Common Name(s) 2210418F23Rik; 5031433I09Rik; AW228792; D1Wsu84e; DNA segment, Chr 1, Wayne State University 84, expressed; MGC2771; MGC59733; SLAC2-A; Slac-2a; expressed sequence AW228792; l(1)-3Rk; l1Rk3; leaden; lethal, Chr 1, Roderick 3; ln;
General Note In its effect on coat color the leaden mouse is indistinguishable from the dilute mouse. Like dilute, this allele causes clumping of melanin granules into larger masses, but no change in color of the pigment. The clumping is due to the shape of the melanocytes, which have fewer and thinner dendritic processes than wild-type melanocytes (J:12970). These melanocytes are more easily dislodged from fixed sites in the hair bulb and incorporated into the developing hair, resulting in large clumps of pigmentin the hair shaft (J:5095). By use of chimeras and dermal-epidermal recombination grafts, the site of action was shown to be in the melanocytes (J:8167).
Molecular Note This allele has a C to T transition at mRNA nucleotide position 266. This introduces a stop codon in the sequence of the normally spliced transcript and it also creates a new splice donor site in exon 2. Use of this alternative splice site yields a transcript with an in-frame 21 base pair deletion that deletes 7 amino acids from the translated protein. Northern blots failed to detect this size difference and did not find any change from normal in transcript expression level. [J:71302]
 
Allele Symbol Sgk3fz
Allele Name fuzzy
Strain of OriginCFW stock
Gene Symbol and Name Sgk3, serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 3

Molecular Note This mutation comprises insertion of a single adenine following nucleotide 579 of the cDNA sequence, in a region encoded by exon 10 of the gene, that causes a shift in the amino acid reading frame and premature termination of protein translation following leucine 192 (Leu192Ter), which resides in the serine/threonine kinase domain.

Supply Notes Cryorecovery - Standard.
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 males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, 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 delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that 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. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery.

Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services: Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845; Email: jaxservices@jax.org.

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.
