Background Strain C57BL/6
Donor Strain 129S7 via AB1 ES cell line (+Hprt-bm2)
 
Donating Investigator Stephen Elledge,   Baylor College of Medicine

Description
Mice lacking the Cdkn1c gene have altered cell proliferation and differentiation, leading to abdominal muscle defects; cleft palate; endochrondral bone ossification defects with incomplete differentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes; renal medullary dysplasia; adrenal cortical hyperplasia and cytomegaly; lens cell hyperproliferation and apoptosis. The targeted gene is imprinted. The phenotype differs depending on whether the targeted allele is transmitted from the dam or the sire; maternal inheritance of the null allele is lethal. This is a model for the human Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.

Development
A targeting construct that removed exons 1 and 2 (87% of the p57KIP2 coding region) was introduced into AB2.1 embryonic stem cells. Homologous recombinant cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Male chimeras were mated to C57BL/6 females. The disrupted allele is a null.

Animal Health Reports

Production of mice from cryopreserved embryos or sperm occurs in a maximum barrier room, RG10/RG30.

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryThe strain originated on a 129/Sv background and is currently at N9 on a C57BL/6 background. The donating investigator maintains the strain by mating heterozygous males to C57BL/6 females. The protein Cdkn1c is encoded by a maternally expressed, imprinted gene in both mice and humans. Maternal inheritance of the null allele is lethal. Expected coat color from breeding:Black

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.
