Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Nancy Andrews, Children's Hospital/HHMI Description
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable and fertile. These mice carry the "C282Y" mutant Hfe allele, which encodes a tyrosine to cysteine amino acid substitution at codon 282. Expression of the missense mutation is detected by RT-PCR analysis. Homozygotes exhibit hemochromatosis, accumulating hepatic iron postnatally. These mice have a phenotype that is intermediate between wildtype mice and mice that are homozygous for the null allele, Hfetm2Nca. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of hereditary hemochromatosis.Development
A targeting vector containing the C282Y missense mutation, a tyrosine to cysteine substitution at codon 282, and neomycin resistance and cytosine deaminase genes was used to insert the missense mutation into the endogenous locus. The construct was electroporated into 129S6/SvEvTac derived TC-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts.

| Molecular Note | A hypomorphic allele was generated by removing the floxed selection cassette from Hfetm1Nca, leaving the cytosine to tyrosine missense mutation at codon 282. The substitution disrupts an intramolecular disulfide bond and putatively affects Beta2-microglobulin binding. RT-PCR analysis confirmed the presence of properly spliced transcript in mutant mice.
