Related Genotype: a Hoxd13spdh/a + or a ?/a +Description
The spdh/spdh mutants have a normal body size but exhibit shortened, fused, and duplicated digits in both front and rear feet. Ossification is severely delayed and ossification centers are mis-patterned in developing metacarpal, metatarsal and phalangeal bones. Joint formation is severely disrupted in the phalanges, with forelimbs more affected compared to the hindlimbs. Reduced rates of proliferation and differentiation of mutant chondrocytes contribute to altered cartiledge/bone morphology. Although expression patterns of Hoxd13/11/12 and Hoxa13 do not seem to be disrupted, their function does seem to be disrupted, indicating HOX protein interactions are altered as a result of the spdh mutation. Additionally, the spdh mutant phenotype is much more severe than mutants carrying a targeted disruption of the spdh gene, supporting a dominant-negative effect. The preputial glands of the genital tract are absent in both male and female spdhmutants (Albrecht et al., 2002; Johnson et al., 1998; Dolle et al., 1993).Development
The Hoxd13spdhmice were discovered in the B6C3Fe-a/a-Csflop colony at the Mouse Mutant Resource of The Jackson Laboratory in 1994. Malformations of the foot were initially noted with an inheritance pattern consistent with an autosomal recessive mutation. Through linkage and PCR typing analyses it was determined that the mutation lies on chromosome 2 and originated within a chromosomal region from C3FeLe.B6-a. Hoxd13spdhmice are maintained on the B6C3Fe-a/a background by outcrossing a homozygous female to B6C3FeF1 a/a (stock # 001022) each generation, then intercrossing the obligate heterozygous offspring. Csflop has been bred out of the strain. The Hoxd13spdh/Hoxd13spdh males are infertile. (Johnson et al., 1998; Albrecht et al., 2002). Embryos for this strain were frozen as a product of breeding B6C3FeF1-a/a females with heterozygous males at N44F1.

Cryopreserved Mice - Ready for Recovery
Animals Provided
Price (US dollars $) Cryorecovery* $1900.00 At least two mice that carry the mutation (if it is a mutant strain) will be provided. Their genotypes may not reflect those discussed in the strain description. Please inquire for possible genotypes and see additional details below.
Standard Supply
Cryopreserved. Ready for recovery. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
Supply Notes
- Cryorecovery of Strains Needing Progeny Testing.
At least two untested males and two untested females (two pairs) will be recovered (eight or more mice is typical). The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Untested animals typically are available to ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful, a second recovery will be done, extending the overall recovery time to approximately 25 weeks.Progeny testing is required to identify the genotype of mice of this strain, as a genotyping assay is not available. This type of testing involves breeding the recovered animals and assessing the phenotype of the offspring in order to identify animals carrying the mutation of interest. We can perform the progeny testing for you as a service or we can ship all recovered animals to you for progeny testing at your facility. If you perform the progeny testing, there is NO guarantee that a carrier will be identified. If we perform progeny testing as a service, additional breeding time will be required. In this case, when a male and female (one pair) are identified that carry the mutation, they and their offspring will be shipped. Delivery time for strains requiring progeny testing often exceeds 25 weeks and may take 12 months or more due to the difficulties in breeding some strains. The progeny testing cost is in addition to the recovery cost and is based on the number of boxes used and the time taken to produce the mice identified as carrying the mutation. Please note that identified 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. Please contact Customer Service for more information on the cost of progeny testing for a strain: Tel: 1-800-422-6423 (from U.S.A., Canada and Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location). The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.
Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation.
