Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Modified regulatory region)
• Mutation: Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: Mutations were introduced at each of the 3 AB sites (AB-1, AB-2, and AB-3) located in the imprinting control region (ICR) upstream of the H19 transcription start site. Single loxP sites remained flanking the ICR after a floxed cassette containing a neomycin resistance gene and a cre recombinase gene was self-excised. The mutations were shown by EMSA to ablate binding activity. Imprint establishment and maintenance was unaffected in mutant mice. (J:86440)

Notes

This locus is subject to imprinting, however the introduced mutations at the AB sites did not affect the establishment or maintenance of the male-specific epigenetic state in the sperm.
