Molecular Note
A 35.5 kb genomic fragment containing the human survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2) gene and promoter was used for the transgene. The transgene is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues examined by Northern blot analysis. Line 89 carries 1 copy of the transgene integrated into intron 4 of the gene. RT-PCR confirmed reduced expression of the gene the transgene is integrated into.

Breeding Considerations
Mice heterozygous for the Smn1tm3(SMN2/Smn1)Mrph mutation (SmnRes/+) and homozygous for the other mutations/transgenes are viable and fertile with no reported abnormalities or symptoms of neuropathology. As such, our repository is maintained as heterozygous for the Smn1tm3(SMN2/Smn1)Mrph mutation (SmnRes/+), homozygous for the Tg(SMNΔ7)4299 transgene (SMNΔ7+/+), homozygous for the Tg(SMN2)89 transgene (SMN2+/+), and hemizygous for the Tg(CAG-CreER)5 transgene (Cre-ER). That is, SmnRes/+;SMNΔ7+/+;SMN2+/+;Cre-ER+/-. A researcher must breed SmnRes/+;SMNΔ7+/+;SMN2+/+;Cre-ER+/- mice together to generate the severely affected "rescuable" SMA model (SMN2;Δ7;Cre-ER;SmnRes/Res).
