129S6.Cg-Gcktm3Mgn/Vu

View other collections this resource is shared to.

These mice, which contain an activating, A456V mutation within the Gck gene, provide a model for Persistant Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia of Infancy, or PHHI-GK, a rare genetic disease of humans. 

During the generation of this line, male chimeric mice derived by injecting correctly targeted TL1 mESCs into blastocysts from C57Bl/6 animals were mated directly with 129S6 female mice, thereby maintaining the mutation in an inbred state. 

Cryostocks of both 8-cell embryos and sperm from this line exist only at the VCMR.

Genetic Alteration

Mutation #1: Targeted Mutagenesis
Type of AlleleGlobal Mutation
Targeted GeneName: Glucokinase
Symbol: Gck
NCBI: 103988
Allele Name: targeted mutation 3
Symbol: Gcktm3Mgn
MGI: MGI:3701764
Description of Targeting Vector

A single base mutation was introduced into exon 10 via site specific mutagenesis to change amino acid 456 from alanine to valine. Genotype by DNA PCR using primers 5'-TGT CTC AAT TTG CTG TGT CCT CCA-3' and 5'-ATG TGT GAG TGT GCC AAT ATG AGT-3'. These primers will amplify a 636 bp fragment from the wild type allele and a 741 bp fragment from the mutant allele. Homozygous mutant mice, which have a phenotype of moderate hypoglycemia, are viable and breed well. Heterozygous animals are mildly hypoglycemic.
