Alliance:	Tg(FXN)YG8Pook page

Strain of Origin:

CBA x C57BL/6

Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence) Mutation:    Insertion   Tg(FXN)YG8Pook expresses 1 gene Transgene expresses: Organism Expressed Gene Homolog in Mouse Note human FXN (2395) Fxn  (MGI:1096879)   Mutation details: The transgenic construct consists of a 370kb YAC insert that includes the entire human FXN gene with GAA triplet repeat sequences, and was injected into fertilized CBA X C57BL/6 hybrid fertilized oocytes. Founder line YG8 was established, carrying 2 tandem copies of the human FXN gene with two GAA trinucleotide repeat sequences of 82 and 190 repeats. This line displayed a transmission rate of 52% to offspring. (J:91581)
