Related Genotype: a/a

Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the "mps" (mucopolysaccharidosis type VII or MPS VII) mutation are devoid of expression of the lysosomal enzyme beta glucuronidase. Homozygous animals are viable, but females have a deficiency in lactation. Skeletal and connective tissue anomalies in both males and females are believed to prevent successful breeding. As this mutation is recessive, heterozygous mice are phenotypically similar to wildtype. Homozygotes exhibit short and thickened long bones (smaller than heterozygous or wildtype littermates), "pug type" appearance of the nose, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, corneal clouding, and deafness. MPS VII mice are a model of the beta glucuronidase enzyme deficiency in humans called Sly Disease. They may be useful in developing new therapies (enzyme replacement, cell transplantation, gene therapy) broadly applicable to other lysosomal storage diseases.

Strain Development
This strain was generated by crossing B6.CBy(Cg)-Gpi1a-m1J/BrkJ (Stock No. 006561) and B6.Cg-Gusbmps/BrkJ (Stock No. 006407). Progeny with the appropriate alleles were backcrossed with C57BL/6 for 10 generations by Dr. Jane Barker at The Jackson Laboratory.

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryWhen maintaining a live colony, mice heterozygous for the Gusbmps allele and homozygous for the Gpi1a-m1J allele are bred together. Mice homozygous for the Gusbmps recessive mutation are viable, but exhibit breeding problems.

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.
