Appearance

Related Genotype: a/a Tyrc/Tyrc

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for Cdh23ahl, the age related hearing loss 1 mutation, which on this background results in progressive hearing loss with onset after 10 months of age. It has been reported that the KK strain is hemolytic complement deficient (Hc0), however, our strains have not been tested to confirm this allele. (Cinader B, et al.,2004, J Exp Med,120:897)

Strain Description
KK/HlJ male mice exhibit diabetic symptoms that includes hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance. This strains serves as a model of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus, type 2.

Strain Development
The KK inbred strain was inbred by K Kondo in 1944. Many of the KK substrain carry the yellow (Ay ) gene. The KK/HlJ substrain, wildtype for the Ay gene, was provided by Dr. Leiselotte Herberg, Diabetes Research Institute, Dusseldorf, Germany. The current generation of inbreeding is F64+.

Molecular Note Genetic complementation tests have shown allelism between the mdfw (modifier of deaf waddler) locus and the ahl locus. Further analysis has identified an association between ahl and a G to A transition at nucleotide position 753 of Cdh23. This hypomorphic allele causes in frame skipping of exon 7 and reduced message stability. Twenty-seven strains classified with ahl and carrying the 753A allele include: CD1, RBF/DnJ, PL/J, AKR/J, RF/J, BALB/cBy, A/WySnJ, P/J, SENCARA/PtJ, DBA/1J, ALS/LtJ, C58/J, C57BLKS/J, 129P1/ReJ, C57BR/cd, SKH2/J, BUB/Bn, MA/MyJ, LP/J, 129X1/SvJ, NOR/LtJ, A/J, C57BL/6, NOD/LyJ, DBA/2J, ALR/LtJ, C57L/J. Strains classified with ahl that DO NOT carry this mutation include: C3H/HeSnJ, I/LnJ,YBR/Ei, MRL/MpJ. [MGI Ref ID J:86905]

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.
