Additional information on JAX® GEMM® Strains.
Specieslaboratory mouse

Appearance
dark black
Related Genotype: A/A Mc1rE-so/Mc1rE-so +/+

dark black with white belly spot and extra toes
Related Genotype: A/A Mc1rE-so/Mc1rE-so Gli3Xt-J/+

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for Mc1rE-so and Pde6brd1 and segregating for Gli3Xt-J.

Strain Description
Mice heterozygous for the extra toes-J spontaneous mutation (Gli3Xt-J) have varying numbers of extra digits on preaxial side of feet. Homozygous mutant mice die in utero with multiple abnormalities. Excessively large pharyngeal arches and an open neural tube are evident at E9. Homologous to Grieg's cephalopoly-syndactyly, a rare multi-system syndrome in humans. This strain is homozygous for the sombre mutation (Mc1rE-so).

General Note Genbank ID for this allele: AF418601
Molecular Note Genomic sequencing and PCR analysis identified the mutation as a 51.5 kb deletion. The deleted region contains all Gli3 coding sequences 3' to exon 9, which includes sequences encoding some, but not all, of the zinc finger domains. This deletion resultsin the expression of an abnormal transcript that fuses Gli3 sequences to an exon belonging to an apparent LTR/MaLR repetitive element. However, this transcript lacks the sequences required for normal GLI3 activity. [MGI Ref ID J:4086] [MGI Ref ID J:48982] [MGI Ref ID J:76587]

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-Cryopreserved. Must Be Recovered. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
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; Email: jaxservices@jax.org.

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.
