Genetic information | The inactivation of the Gpr143 gene (Oa1 gene) was done at TIGEM in AB2.2 ES cells, replacing the first exon by a HPRT cassette. Resulting chimeras were backcrossed 10 times to C57BL/6N mice and, upon transferring these mice to CNB-CSIC they have been backcrossed less than 5 times to albino outbred NMRI mice. |
Phenotypic information | Currently Oa1-deficient mice (Gpr143 gene inactivated) are in tyrosinase-deficient mice, therefore they display in one animal the traits associated to Ocular Albinism type I (OA1) and Oculo-Cutaneous Albinism type I (OCA1), including severe visual deficits and presence of abnormal giant melanosomes in retinal pigment epithelium cells. |
Breeding history | Mutant was created in AB2.2 ES cell background and resulting chimeras backcrossed 10 times to C57BL/6N. Mice were then transferred to CNB-CSIC where they have been backcrossed less than 5 times to albino outbred HsdWin:NMRI Stock. |
