Specieslaboratory mouse
GenerationF?+3pN1
 
Donating Investigator Masashi Yanagisawa,   Southwestern Medical School

Description
This mutation is alleleic with the lethal spotting spontaneous mutation. Homozygous mice are viable at birth, but most die within about a month. They show a disruption in neural crest lineage development. They die from peritonitis subsequent to aganglionic megacolon. They may serve as a model for human Hirschsprung's disease.

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.
