The C57BL/6J strain is one of the most widely used animal models for biornedical research, and individual mice within the strain are often assumed to be genetically identical after more than 70 yr of inbreeding. Using a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) gencityping panel, we assessed if copy number variations (CNVs) Could be detected within the C57BL/6J strain by comparing relative allele frequencies in first generation [F-1] progeny of CS7BL/6J mice. Sequencing, quantitative PCR, breeding, and array comparative genoniic hybridization (CGH) together confirmed the presence of two CNVs. Both CNVs span genes encoded oil chromosome 19, and quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated that they result in altered expression of the insulin-degrading enzyme (Ide) and fibroblast growth factor binding protein 3 (Fgfbp3) genes. Analysis of 39 different C57BL/6J breeders revealed that 64% of mice from the Jackson Laboratory colony were heterozygous for the CNV spanning Ide. Homozygotes with and without the duplication were present in concordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (13% and 23%, respectively), and analysis of archived samples from the CS7BL/6J colony suggests that the duplication has rapidly reached a high frequency in the colony since 1994. The identification of two CNVs in the small portion of the genome screened demonstrates that individual mice of highly inbred strains are not isogenic and suggests other CNVs may be segregating within CS7BL/6J as well as other carefully maintained inbred strains. These differences call influence interpretations of physiological, biomedical, and behavioral experiments and call be exploited to model CNVs apparent in the human genome.
