Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:3045592

• Allelic Composition: Cyp27b1^tm1Star/Cyp27b1^tm1Star
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S1/Sv * 129X1/SvJ

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

endocrine/exocrine glands

enlarged parathyroid gland ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes display enlarged parathyroid glands (8 weeks), and secondary hyperparathyroidism

growth/size/body

decreased body size ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes display a decrease in femur length at 8 weeks

postnatal growth retardation ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes are viable and phenotypically normal at birth but fail to thrive

slow postnatal weight gain ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes display a decrease in weight gain from 3-8 weeks of age

homeostasis/metabolism

abnormal blood homeostasis ( J:71928 )

• at 3 weeks, homozygotes show lack of detectable 1,25(OH)2D3 levels

• at 8 weeks, homozygotes display elevated levels of 25(OH)D3 and very low circulating levels of 24,25(OH)2D3

increased circulating parathyroid hormone level ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes display increased PTH blood levels as early as weaning

decreased circulating calcium level ( J:71928 , J:78635 )

• at 3 weeks of age, homozygotes display hypocalcemia (J:71928)

• supplementation with 1,25(OH)2D3 normalizes the plasma Ca2+ concentration (J:78635)

• the expression of renal Ca2+ transport proteins is significantly down-regulated in agreement with a diminished Ca2+ reabsorption capacity (J:78635)

• high dietary Ca2+ intake restores the expression of renal Ca2+ transport proteins independent of 1,25(OH)2D3 and normalizes serum Ca2+ concentration (J:78635)

decreased circulating phosphate level ( J:71928 )

• young homozygotes exhibit marked hypophosphatemia which tends towards normal levels at later stages

increased circulating alkaline phosphatase level ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes display elevated serum alkaline phosphatase

skeleton

disorganized long bone epiphyseal plate ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes have expanded growth plates with disorganized cartilage layers

increased long bone epiphyseal plate size ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes have expanded growth plates with disorganized cartilage layers

abnormal long bone metaphysis morphology ( J:71928 )

• contact radiography of femurs revealed rachitic metaphyseal alterations

decreased bone mineral density of femur ( J:71928 )

• contact radiography of femurs revealed diffuse osteopenia (hypomineralization)

abnormal bone mineralization ( J:90983 , J:90984 )

• high dietary Ca2+ intake does not completely correct bone growth but cures the rickets and osteomalacia and corrects the biomechanical properties of bone tissue (J:90983)

• chronic treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 is more effective than the high-calcium rescue diet and corrects all aspects of the mutant phenotype (J:90984)

decreased bone mineralization ( J:71928 )

• homozygotes display osteoid (unmineralized matrix) accumulation in trabecular bone due to impaired mineralization

• homozygotes display bone anomalies including rickets and osteomalacia

osteomalacia ( J:71928 )

rickets ( J:71928 )

integument

integument phenotype ( J:71928 , J:71937 )

N • consistent with symptoms of pseudovitamin D deficiency rickets, homozygotes display no alopecia (J:71928)

N • homozygotes do not exhibit alopecia (J:71937)
