| Provider affiliation | Institute of Experimental Genetics, Helmholtz Center Munich |
| Genetic information | Linkage was demonstrated to mouse chromosome 3 between the markers D3Mit188 and D3Mit11. Sequencing revealed a 358 A->C mutation (Ile120Leu) in the Hist2h3c1 gene and a 71 T->C (Val24Ala) mutation in the Gja8 gene. The mutation in the histone gene is considered to be causative for the phenotype. Disclaimer - Special restrictions: 1) Mutant development was phenotype driven. Although for some mutant lines, linkage data and the molecular characterization of the causative mutation has been published, EMMA has not genotyped the strains and can not provide genotyping protocols. 2) Some lines showed low penetrance of the phenotype. 3) Only sperm available. Rederivation service can not be offered. 4) EMMA quality control standards may not apply for these strains. 5) EMMA has not verified the breeding performance and the genetic background of the strains. The genotype/phenotype of the mice is not confirmed by INFRAFRONTIER/EMMA. We strongly recommend that the recipient confirms genotype/phenotype upon receipt. |
