Description
Aft is a dominant mutation that causes increased postnatal lethality in heterozygotes and nearly 100% embryonic or perinatal lethality in homozygotes. Aft/+ mice can be identified by tail kinks near the tail tip and syndactyly of the third and fourth digits of the hind feet, a trait which is often unilateral. This syndactyly does not result from bone fusion, but rather from the persistence of the skin web that normally is removed via apoptosis during development. The tail kinks appear to result from cartilage overgrowth and fusion. Alopecia is found at six to eight months of age and can progress into bleeding ulcerations. Histology of Aft/+ skin shows fewer follicles, fibrosis, and an increase in the number of mast cells. The penetrance of this mutation is only approximately 65% on the 129/Sv and C57BL/6J backgrounds and the expressivity is variable. The most prevalent trait in Aft/+ mice is tail kinks, followed by syndactyly then skin lesions. The Aft mutation interacts with T such that double heterozygosity for Aft and T together increases the likelihood of having no tail relative to heterozygosity for T alone. Aft maps within the vicinity of brachyury modifier 1 on chromosome 9. (Lane, 1987; Ruvinsky et al., 2002.)

Development
Aft arose spontaneously in 1984 on the 129/Sv-p+ Tyrc-ch-KitW-54J background in the laboratory of Dr. Jane Barker at The Jackson Laboratory. KitW-54J was bred away from Aft and in 1988 N14F2 heterozygotes of either gender were bred with 129/Sv mates to generate embryos for cryopreservation.

The following phenotype information may relate to a genetic background differing from this JAX® Mice strain.

Aft/Aft+

        involves: 129S1/Sv
  • limbs/digits/tail phenotype
  • kinked tail (MGI Ref ID J:12972)
    • 50% penetrance
  • syndactyly (MGI Ref ID J:12972)
    • syndactyly of digits 3 and 4 of the hindfeet, 50% penetrance

Aft/Aft+

        involves: 129S1/Sv * C57BL/6J
  • skin/coat/nails phenotype
  • alopecia (MGI Ref ID J:81166)
    • incompletely penetrant progressive late-onset hair loss (around 6-8 months of age) that starts locally around the snout and back of ears
  • decreased hair follicle number (MGI Ref ID J:81166)
    • skin shows focal areas of decreased hair follicle density with fibrous tracts, pigment incontinence and increased mast cells
  • disheveled coat (MGI Ref ID J:81166)
    • at around 6-8 months of age, when local hair loss begins, the fur appears clumpy and unkempt
  • skin lesions (MGI Ref ID J:81166)
    • late-onset (6-8 months of age) of skin lesions following hair loss that progress into bleeding ulcerations
  • limbs/digits/tail phenotype
  • kinked tail (MGI Ref ID J:81166)
    • tail kinks are most likely caused by varying degrees of cartilage overgrowth and fusion and a dysmorphogenesis of bony elements attached to the fusion site
  • syndactyly (MGI Ref ID J:81166)
    • partial syndactyly of digits 3 and 4 on the hindlimbs, commonly unilateral
    • several mutants are seen in which digits other than 3 and 4 are fused
    • interdigital webbing (MGI Ref ID J:81166)
      • syndactyly is caused by the persistence of the skin web between the digits and not due to fused bony elements

Supply Notes
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. 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.

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.
