129S6-Scn5atm(R222Q)Rdn/Vu

Allele #1 human cDNA for SCN5A replaces exon 2 of mouse Scn5a.  Insertion at this location disrupts expression of mouse ortholog.  This mouse is heterozygous for Scn5a R222Q. Recombinase mediated cassette exchange was used to insert human SCN5A between loxP sites. Expression of human SCN5A is dependent on native mouse promoters for SCN5A.

Viability and Fertility Data

Homozygous R222Q pups are viable, but are usually smaller than normal and do not live past 1 month of age. Most die before they are weaned. Many are probably eaten by the mother.
