Donating Investigator Ben Oostra,   Erasmus University

Description
Mice homozygous for the Fmr1tm1Cg targeted mutation show macroorchidism (enlarged testes), learning deficits, and hyperactivity. Macroorchidism in caused by an increased rate of Sertoli cell proliferation during embryogenesis which may be independent of FSH signalling. Comparison of homozygotes to wildtype littermates in hidden- and visible-platform water maze learning showed deficits in spatial learning and motor performance.

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.
