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).Strain 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.

Cryorecovery of Strains Needing Progeny Testing. 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 untested males and two untested females (two pairs) will be recovered, 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 overall recovery time to approximately 25 weeks. However, all pups recovered will be sent. 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 (at least two untested pairs) 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.
