Genetic Alterations
The L1L2_gt0 cassette was inserted at position 18198728 of Chromosome X upstream of the critical exon(s) (Build GRCm38). The cassette is composed of an FRT flanked lacZ/neomycin sequence followed by a loxP site. An additional loxP site is inserted downstream of the targeted exon(s) at position 18199550. The critical exon is thus flanked by loxP sites. A "conditional-ready" (floxed) allele was created by flp recombinase expression in mice carrying this allele. Further information on targeting strategies used for this and other KOMP alleles can be found at the KOMP website.
Genotype Determination
  • Genotyping Protocol(s)
  • Center protocol and contact for technical support will be shipped with mice.
  • ES Cell Line
    JM8.N4 derived from C57BL/6N
    Phenotype

    Homozygous: Kdm6a fl/fl females are viable

    Heterozygous: Kdm6a fl/y hemizygous males are viable

    Cre-excised Phenotype: When exon 3 is deleted homozygous females are mid-gestational embryonic lethal. Heterozygous females are viable. Hemizygous males with deletion of exon 3 are early postnatal lethal.

    Note: This strain models Kabuki syndrome.

    Strain Development
    EUCOMM project 26585, Kdm6atm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts, chimeras were mated to CD1, progeny were crossed to Flp-transgenic mice (129S4/SvJae-Gt(ROSA)26Sor/J or129S4/SvJaeSor-Gt(ROSA)26Sor/J - RRID:IMSR_JAX:007844 or 003946, respectively). Subsequent backcross to C57BL/6J to N8.

    MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
    The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains. For more information on when data may be available, or to request genotyping for a strain of interest, please contact mmrrc@med.unc.edu. Older strains may not have this information.

    Order Request Information

    Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.

    Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to mmrrc@med.unc.edu for more information.

    Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

    The donor or their institution limits the distribution to non-profit institutions only.

    Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.

    1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; 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 contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

    3 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.

    4 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.
