Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the spontaneous semidominant Dickie's small eye mutation(Pax6Sey-Dey) die during embryogenesis. Heterozygous mutant mice are characterized by an overall small body size, small eyes with coloboma, small or lacking lens with cataract, abnormal folding of the retina and reduction of the pigment layer. The anterior chamber is usually missing. Mutations in the Pax6 gene lead to an impairment of axonal growth and differentiation, and delay migration of preneuronal cells. Optic nerve cross-sectional area and fiber count are decreased in these mutant mice, but probably indirectly as a consequence of reduced neural retina size. Formation of lens and of nasal cavity placodes are dependent on normal Pax6 expression.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms assigned by genotype
Pax6Sey-Dey/Pax6+
B6EiC3Sn a/A-Pax6Sey-Dey/J
- vision/eye phenotype
- abnormal corneal epithelium morphology
(MGI Ref ID J:83791)
- the corneal epithelium is 1 to 7 cell layers thick instead of 8 to 10 as in wild type mice
- reduction in cell layers is apparent at P14 and P21
- unlike in wild type mice, basal cells are more rounded and the cell layers are not packed tightly
- no goblet cells are observed
- at 6 weeks, cell proliferation rates are increased (45% proliferative index compared to 4% proliferative index in wild type mice)
- however, apoptosis rates are normal
- adhesion between cells in the suprabasal middle and superficial layers is disrupted
- abnormal corneal stroma morphology
(MGI Ref ID J:83791)
- the stroma exhibits varied thickness and a general disorganizeation with large aggregates of laminn in the anterior region

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.
