|
Gene Symbol: Sgcd Name: sarcoglycan, delta (dystrophin-associated glycoprotein) Chromosome: 11 Alteration at locus: Knockout |
Genetic Alterations:
A targeting vector containing a neo cassette was inserted to replace exon 2, which encodes for 63 amino acids of the intracelular domain and the entire transmembrane region.
Genotype Determination:
ES Cell Line: R1 derived from C57BL/6J
Strain Description
Phenotype
Homozygous Phenotype: Sgcd null mice show a phenotype consistent with human limb girdle muscular dystrophy. Pathology includes large regions of necrosis in nearly all skeletal muscles. Severe necrotic lesions are present in diaphragm of mice under 1 month of age. Mice older than 6 months of age display cardiomyopathy. Mice display irregularities of the coronary vasculature.
Heterozygous Phenotype: Heterozygotes do not show any known morphological abnormalities.
Founder genetic background: 129 x C57BL/6 hybrid
Strain genetic background: C57BL/6J
Suggested Control Mice: Wild-type littermates or C57BL/6 mice

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
2 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.
3 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer to at least two recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.
