Gene Affected Atm: Ataxia telangiectasia mutated
Origin This strain is an Atm missense mutant (amino acid change of leucine (L) to proline (P) at position 2262 (L2262P))rat and was established by ENU mutagenesis using F344/NSlc strain.
Strain characteristics Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) model rat: Atm-mutant rats expressed low levels of ATM protein and had a significantly reduced lifespan compared with Atm+/+. Whereas these rats did not show cerebellar atrophy, they succumbed to hind-limb paralysis (45%), and the remainder developed tumors. Closer examination revealed the presence of both dsDNA and ssDNA in the cytoplasm of both neurons and glia in the hippocampus, cerebellum, and spinal cord of AtmL2262P/L2262P rats. Other detailed phenotypes are described in the reference article. (March 2017)
Breeding Conditions Maintained in heterozygous condition
Genotyping Genotyping protocol for Atm

Rats with a missense mutation in Atm display neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration subsequent to accumulation of cytosolic DNA following unrepaired DNA damage.
