Development
Pudgy (Dll3pu) arose in the descendants of an x-rayed (101/Rl x C3H/Rl)F1 male from the specific locus experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory prior to 1961. It is located on Chromosome 7 linked to pink eyed dilution (Oca2p) and chinchilla (Tyrc-ch). The pudgy stock with Oca2p and Tyrc-ch was imported into The Jackson Laboratory from Dr. L.B. Russell at Oak Ridge in 1961. It was maintained as a close (not inbred) stock by mating Dll3pu + Tyrc-ch/Dll3pu + Tyrc-ch males to + Oca2p Tyrc-ch/+ Oca2p Tyrc-ch females in one generation followed by Dll3pu + Tyrc-ch/+ Oca2p Tyrc-ch matings the next generation until 1983 and then it was sibling mated using the same alternating generations. It was cryopreserved in 1983 using Dll3pu + Tyrc-ch/+ Oca2p Tyrc-ch males x Dll3pu + Tyrc-ch/+ Oca2p Tyrc-ch or untested females at F13.

Gene Common Name(s) SCDO1; pu; pudgy;
General Note The pudgy mutation appeared in descendants of an X-rayed male at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. (J:14975). It has been suggested that Dll3pu may be a recurrence of stub (sb), a skeletal mutant now extinct (J:245).
Molecular Note Sequencing of Dll3 shows that Dll3pu mutants have a 4 bp deletion in the third exon leading to a frameshift and early truncation of the expected Dll3 product ahead of the conserved DSL domain. [MGI Ref ID J:48518]

General Note

p is a very old mutation carried in many varieties of fancy mice (J:12958). It has been suggested that the original mutation occurred in Japanese wild mice, Mus musculus molossinus (J:19782).

Homozygotes have pink eyes with pigmentation very much reduced but not completely absent in both the retina and choroid. The black pigment of the hair is very much diluted, but the yellow pigment is only slightly affected. Pigment granules are irregular and shred-like in shape. The small amount of pigment they contain is of wild-type color (J:12970, J:12958). The fine structure of the pigment granules was said by Moyer (J:5001) to be disrupted, but Hearing et al. (J:5346) found the structure to be normal, with premature termination of the melanization process.

In tissue culture of the eye, the amount of pigment formed can be increased by increasing the concentration of tyrosine. This suggests that p may block the melanin-synthesizing pathway by interference with tyrosine supply (J:12726). The site of gene action is in the melanocytes and not in either the dermis or the epidermis (J:7988).

A presumed p gene has been cloned (J:2206). It was isolated from mouse melanoma and melanocyte libraries and is missing or altered in six independent p mutant alleles (J:2206). By sequence comparison, the human P locus, deletions of which are associated with hypopigmentation, is orthologous to p (J:2206). P maps to Chr 15q, near the Prader--Willi syndrome locus. On the basis of this location, the p mutation has been proposed to provide a mouse model for Prader--Willi syndrome, for Angelman syndrome, for one form of hypomelanosis of Ito (J:3253), and for type II oculocutaneous albinism (J:3600). A small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle gene Snrpn maps near p and its human ortholog in the homologous Prader--Willi region of human Chromosome 15 (J:3623). Snrpn appears to be a better candidate for the Prader-Willi syndrome ortholog. P is deleted in human type II oculocutaneous albinism, making p a model for this disease (J:3600).

  • Cryorecovery of Strains Needing Progeny Testing.
    At least two untested males and two untested females (two pairs) will be recovered (eight or more mice is typical). The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Untested animals typically are available to ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful, a second recovery will be done, extending the overall recovery time to approximately 25 weeks.

    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 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 (from U.S.A., Canada and Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location). The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 (from U.S.A., Canada or Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location).

  • This strain is included in the Mouse Mutant Resource collection.
  • Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.
Important Note
This strain is homozygous for Tyrc-ch and segregating for Dll3pu and Oca2p which are maintained in repulsion.

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.
