Specieslaboratory mouse
GenerationF36p+F3p (22-JAN-06)

Description
Mice homozygous mice for the waved 2 spontaneous mutation (Egfrwa2) are recognizable at 2 to 3 days by curly whiskers. The first coat is waved but later coats are not; vibrissae usually remain curled and the guard hairs curved. Some homozygotes have eyelids open at birth. Fertile mutant females have impaired lactation.

Development
In 1933, or shortly thereafter, the waved 2 mutation arose spontaneously in the "abnormal Corpus callosum stock" held by Dr. Clyde Keeler at The Bussey Institute of Harvard Medical School. In 1935 waved 2 (Egfrwa2) was received from Dr. Reed by Dr. G.D. Snell at the Jackson Laboratory. It was crossed to shaker 2 (Myo15sh2) mice of Dr. C.C. Little at The Jackson Laboratory and waved 2 shaker 2 (Egfrwa2 Myo15sh2) mice were crossed to flexed-tail (f) mice received from the Bussey Institute in 1936. All three mutations were maintained in this stock. In 1947 this stock was returned after the fire to Dr. Snell from Dr. Walter Heston. The stock was maintained by non-sibling within-stock matings until 1960 when one outcross was made to C3H/HeJ. The stock was then sibling mated for 13 generations before 3 crosses were made to C57BL/6J, via backcross-intercross, and the stock was then non-sibling within-stock mated and in 1969 two lines were selected, Myo15sh2 and Egfrwa2 and flexed was dropped from these lines. In the Egfrwa2 line a cross was made to B6.Cg-bc, a congenic strain then at N5, and the resulting stock, carrying a and Egfrwa2 but not bc, was sibling mated to maintain Egfrwa2 by forced heterozygosis. It was cryopreserved in 1986 with the common parent at F53.

General Note Found by Keeler in an ``abnormal corpus callosum'' stock at the Bussey Institution, this mutant is very similar to Tgfawa1. Homozygotes can be recognized at 2 to 3 days by their curly whiskers. The first coat is waved but later coats are not. The vibrissae usually remain curled and the guard hairs curved. Some homozygotes have eyelids open at birth (J:13052). Butler and Robertson ascribed the open eyelid condition to an independent gene, which they called squint, but it is probably a pleiotropic effect of Egfrwa2 (J:15239). The proportions of guard hairs and zigzags are about normal in Egfrwa2/Egfrwa2 mice, but the hairs show irregularities and narrowing of the medulla, usually accompanied by thickening of the cortex. Bending occurs between these areas (J:5260). In fusion chimeras between Egfrwa2/Egfrwa2 and +/+ mice, waved and normal hairs occur in a patchy distribution, suggesting that Egfrwa2 acts locally in the hair folliclecells (J:5130). The waved-2 phenotype has been shown to result from a point mutation in the Egfr gene. Expression of EGFR in the outer hair root sheath, along with expression of its TGFA ligand in the inner root sheath, suggests that the waved-1 and waved-2 effects on hair growth may result from failures of signaling by this ligand-receptor system in skin (J:16986). Impairment of lactation in fertile mutant females is another effect of Egfrwa2 (J:23326).

Phenotypic Similarity to Human Syndrome: aortic valve disease (J:60750).

Molecular Note A T-to-G transversion mutation in the sequences encoding the tyrosine kinase domain is predicted to result in a substitution of a glycine for a highly conserved valine at position 743 in the third kinase subdomain. [MGI Ref ID J:16986]

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.

  • Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.

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.
