Anorexic anx/anx mice Jackson Lab strain 000624.
Mutation mapped to a 0.2 cM interval residing between the markers D2Mit133 and Jojo5 chromosome 2 (Chr 2: bp 118, 889, 896–120, 175, 1081) (Lindfors et al., 2011).
Possible genes affected
Lindsfor 2011: NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1a-subcomplex (Ndufaf1)
Kim 2017: tyrosine kinase receptor Tyro3 which they conclude is not the anx-mutation but a strain specific modifier of anx-phenotypes
Abnormalities Table
Tyro3 Genotyping
TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase 3 (Tyro3) mutation in anx/anx eliminatees a NlaIV restriction site.
- primers 5′-GATGGCGCTGAGGCGGAGCATG and 5′-CGCGGC- CGGAGGTCTGGCAG ; annealing temperature 72C
- subsequent digestion with NlaIV
- wildtype -> 175 bp fragment, anx/anx -> 250 bp product
