Quantitative PCR genotyping assay for the Ts65Dn mouse model of Down syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Ts65Dn mouse is a segmentally trisomic model for Down syndrome. Until now, Ts65Dn mice have been identified by the laborious methods of either chromosomal analysis of cultured peripheral lymphocytes or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). We report here a quantitative PCR method for genotyping Ts65Dn mice, as well as a phenotypic description for visually preclassifying mice to be genotyped.

Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) genotyping assay for mouse models of down syndrome.
The Ts65Dn mouse is the most widely investigated segmentally trisomic mouse model of Down syndrome. Quantitative PCR based methods are the preferred way of detecting the trisomic segment for genotyping purposes. However, identification of a 1.5 fold difference in target DNA is at the limit of detection of most quantitative PCR based methods, and in practice this can lead to difficulties in assi...
متن کاملDigastric Muscle Phenotypes of the Ts65Dn Mouse Model of Down Syndrome
Down syndrome is frequently associated with complex difficulties in oromotor development, feeding, and swallowing. However, the muscle phenotypes underlying these deficits are unclear. We tested the hypotheses that the Ts65Dn mouse model of DS has significantly altered myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform profiles of the muscles involved in feeding and swallowing, as well as reductions in the spee...

BACKGROUND Down syndrome is associated with significant failure in cognitive function. Our previous investigation revealed age-dependent degeneration of locus coeruleus, a major player in contextual learning, in the Ts65Dn mouse model of Down syndrome. We studied whether drugs already available for use in humans can be used to improve cognitive function in these mice. METHODS We studied the s...
متن کاملAdaptation of the Arizona Cognitive Task Battery for use with the Ts65Dn Mouse Model of Down Syndrome
18 We propose and validate a clear strategy to efficiently and comprehensively characterize 19 neurobehavioral deficits in the Ts65Dn mouse model of Down syndrome. This novel 20 approach uses neurocognitive theory to design and select behavioral tasks that test specific 21 hypotheses concerning the results of Down syndrome. In this manuscript we model in 22 Ts65Dn mice the Arizona Cognitive Tas...
متن کاملThe App-Runx1 Region Is Critical for Birth Defects and Electrocardiographic Dysfunctions Observed in a Down Syndrome Mouse Model
Down syndrome (DS) leads to complex phenotypes and is the main genetic cause of birth defects and heart diseases. The Ts65Dn DS mouse model is trisomic for the distal part of mouse chromosome 16 and displays similar features with post-natal lethality and cardiovascular defects. In order to better understand these defects, we defined electrocardiogram (ECG) with a precordial set-up, and we found...
