Descriptor ratones endogámicos CFTR
Entry term(s) ratones consanguíneos CFTR
Scope note: Cepa de ratones muy estudiada como modelo para la fibrosis quística. Estos ratones se han generado a partir de células embrionarias troncales en las que el gen RTFQ (regulador de la conductancia transmembranal de la fibrosis quística) se inactiva como gen diana. Como resultado de esto, todos los ratones tienen en todos los tejidos una copia alterada de este gen. Los ratones homocigóticos para el gen alterado muestran muchas características comunes con los pacientes jóvenes con fibrosis quística, entre las que se incluyen el retraso en el desarrollo, íleo meconial, y alteraciones de las glándulas mucosas y serosas.

Scope note: A strain of mice widely studied as a model for cystic fibrosis. These mice are generated from embryonic stem cells in which the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene is inactivated by gene targeting. As a result, all mice have one copy of this altered gene in all their tissues. Mice homozygous for the disrupted gene exhibit many features common to young cystic fibrosis patients, including failure to thrive, meconium ileus, and alteration of mucous and serous glands.
