Related Genotype: a/a Ptchmes/PtchmesStrain Description
Mice homozygous for the mesenchymal dysplasia spontaneous mutation (mes) have a shortened face, wide set eyes, excessive skin, belly spot, kinked tail, preaxial polydactyly, and thickened foot pads. Homozygous mutant mice also display mineralization of tendons and multiple skeletal defects. Both sexes are infertile. Male mice have cryptorchid testes.Strain Development
The mesenchymal dysplasia (mes) mutation arose spontaneously in 1981 on the CBA/J background at The Jackson Laboratory. Due to the sterility in homozygotes this mutation was maintained by cross-intercross breeding using ovarian transplantation from homozygous females and breeding the host females with B6C3Fe-a/a males then intercrossing their heterozygous offspring to generate homozygous females for ovarian transplantation (Sweet HO; Bronson RT, 1981). In 2004 this colony reached generation N40F1.

| General Note | This mutation arose in the CBA/J strain in 1981. Homozygotes have a shortened face, wide set eyes, excessive skin, belly spot, kinked tail, preaxial polydactyly, and thickened foot pads. Alizarin preparations reveal mineralization of tendons and multipleskeletal defects. Neither sex breeds; male mutants have cryptorchid testes(J:72380). | ||
| Molecular Note | A 32bp deletion causes a frameshift mutation, which generates a truncated protein with an aberrant 68-amino acid stretch in the C terminal cytoplasmic domain. [MGI Ref ID J:72380] | ||

| 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. |
