Strain Description: Homozygous embryos do not survive past embryonic day 6.5. Heterozygous mice develop tumors in a variety of organs. These include tumors of the uterus, prostate, thyroid, colon, and adrenal medulla. Pten (+/-) mice are predisposed to intestinal polyposis. Tumor phenotypes vary depending upon mouse genetic background.
Heterozygous females are fertile only for a brief period of 2-3 months due to uterine neoplasia.
       
Mutation Information  
  Mutation Type: Targeted 
  Gene Name: phosphatase and tensin homolog
  Gene Symbol: PTEN
  Transgene Name:
  Transgene Symbol:
  Promoter Name:  
  Promoter Symbol:  
  Current Genetic Background: B6.129 
  Approx. Generation: 10 
  Organ Site : Multiple 
       
Husbandry: Breeder pairs are supplied as a heterozygous male with a wildtype C57BL/6 female. The main breeding problem is that +/- females are fertile for a brief period between 2 to 3 months. This is because they develop a uterine neoplasia. To get best results, the donating lab recommends mating male +/- with wild type (+/+) females from the colony.
Genotyping Information: Protocol 1: Allele: Pten  
       
Donating Investigator: Dr. Ramon  Parsons
