| Genetic information | To generate a mouse mutant expressing the pathogenic substitution Mpz (P0) I106L (P0sub, Gabreels-Festen et al., 1996, Fig. 1a) under the control of the Mpz promoter (Feltri et al., 1999), the 2.6BsrGI-sense vector, containing a 2.6kb-BsrGI fragment with exons 2 to 5 of the mouse Mpz genomic DNA, was used for mutagenesis. In brief, the whole vector was amplified with primers flanking and containing the mutation and was religated. A StuI/Eco47II-fragment encoding exon 2 and mutated exon 3 of the resulting 2.6BsrGI-sense P0sub vector was cloned into the mP05.7blue vector (Lemke et al., 1988, Feltri et al., 1999), containing exons 2 to 6. Finally, an EcoRI-fragment of the vector mP0Ewtblue (You et al., 1991, Feltri et al., 1999), comprising the Mpz promoter and exon 1, was inserted into the EcoRI digested mP05.7. |
| Phenotypic information | Distal muscle weakness and atrophy, reduced nerve conduction velocities and hypo- and dysmyelination (aberrantly folded myelin sheaths, tomacula) with "onion bulb" formation. Model of type 1b Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. |
| Breeding history | The strain was always bred on a FVB background. |
