Alteration at locus: Targeted Mutation
Genetic Alterations
The Rr27tm6.1Msb (H19ICR-8nrCG) allele contains mutations in 8 CpGs across the ICR, which depletes ~16% of CpGs without changing the size of the ICR or disrupting CTCF sites.
Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
E14.1 derived from 129P2/OlaHsd
Phenotype
This strain exhibits a molecular phenotype of loss of paternal imprinting at the H19/Igf2 locus resulting in aberrant biallelic expression of H19 in extraembryonic tissues (yolk sac & placenta) and embryonic and neonatal liver when paternally transmitted.

Although the 8nrCG mutant line alone did not exhibit any obvious developmental phenotypes, we have since shown that this line exhibits increased susceptibility/sensitivity to environmental exposure - exhibiting increased body weight and adiposity and slightly decreased sperm methylation at the H19/Igf2 ICR in response to developmental exposure to vinclozolin, an antiandrogenic pesticide (PMID:29535025).

This mutant line (8nrCG) is part of a series/panel of targeted mutant lines generated to alter individual regulatory sequences at the H19/Igf2 ICR. It was designed to mimic mutations found at the orthologous human locus in patients with Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome.

Strain Development
Targeting vectors were linearized and electroporated into E14.1 ES cells as described previously (PMID:9851976). G418-resistant positive clones were isolated and targeting to the H19/Igf2 locus was confirmed by restriction digestion followed by Southern hybridization as described previously (PMID:9851976). Correctly targeted ES cell clones were injected into C57BL/6J (B6J) blastocysts and mice were generated by the Transgenic & Chimeric Mouse Facility at the University of Pennsylvania. Chimeras were obtained and mated to B6J mice. Germline transmission of the targeted mutant alleles was confirmed in the agouti progeny by DNA isolated from tail biopsies subjected to Southern blot. The neo resistant cassette (flanked by loxP sites) was excised in the mouse by crossing heterozygous mutant mice (H19ICRΔIVSneo/+) to mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the human cytomegalovirus promoter on a B6 genetic background (Cre mice were obtained from Edward Morissey).
Suggested Control Mice
The best control for these animals are the homozygous (+/+) offspring generated by het(+/-) x het(+/-) mating and using the resulting +/+, and -/-, +/- offspring in downstream experiments.
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 csmmrrc@jax.org. Older strains may not have this information.

Colony and Husbandry Information

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-reports.

Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email csmmrrc@jax.org.

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 csmmrrc@jax.org for more information.

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

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.

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.
