Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Tsixtm3Jtl mutation (0 available); any Tsix mutation (57 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• only 10-20% of mutants survive to adulthood, when the allele is transmitted maternally
• mutants die during the implantation stage when allele is transmitted maternally; ~20% of mutant blastocysts bearing maternal allele fail to attach in culture and ~60% show sparse trophoblast outgrowth and degenerate after several days in culture, whereas wild-type blastocysts show robust growth for up to 7 days
• ex vivo, no obvious defects are observed during preimplantation stage
• paternal transmission has no effect on viability

reproductive system
• female mutants produce smaller litters

cellular
• live births carrying mutant allele are decreased (males: 40 wild-type, 11 mutant and females: 66 wild-type, 6 mutant whereas ratio of mutants to wild-type for both sexes expected is 50:50); 75-90% of mutants bearing maternal allele die

mortality/aging

mortality/aging
• when this allele is inherited paternally no XX female offsprings are observed 3 weeks after birth and only 1 XO female is produced although sex ratios are normal at E7.5

embryo
• authors state that when this allele is inherited maternally, mice exhibit phenotypes associated with a failure of imprinted X-inactivation as in Xisttm1Jae Tsixtm1Enl heterozygotes

cellular
• methylation at the Xist promoter is lost and histone modifications at the promoter are aberrant
