Former Names B6C3Fe a/a-hyh/J (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Stock; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Generation N19 Description
Although no overt phenotype is appearant in newborn hyh mice, they have dilated lateral ventricles. By 2 weeks of age, an outward phenotype of a domed head and a hop gait is apparent. Dissection and histological examination reveal "hydrocephalus of lateral and third ventricles and of the caudal aspects of the cerebreal aquiduct" increasing in severity with age (Bronson et al., 1990). Homozygotes have a decreased lifespan usually dying before 2 months of age. Some homozygotes will live for several months, but usually will not breed.Development
The hyh mutation arose spontaneously on the C57BL/10J background and was sibling mated by progeny tested heterozygote x heterozygote for 11 generations and was then outcrossed onto a B6C3Fe-a/a background. This strain is maintained by ovarian transplant-backcross-intercross using homozygous ovary donors whose hosts are bred with B6C3Fe-a/a F1 males and the obligate heterozygous offspring are then sibling bred, generating homozygous female ovary donors.

| Molecular Note | The G to A transition identified in exon 4 results in the substitution of the conserved methionine at amino acid residue 105 with an isoleucine. Transcript expression levels were normal as determined by Northern blot analysis. Presence of the mutationwas confirmed by RT-PCR sequence analysis of mRNA from brain tissue. Western blot analysis indicated that the mutant protein is about 40% less abundant in homozygous mutant mice than is the normal protein in wild-type mice. [MGI Ref ID J:88183] | ||
