Zuma Mutant Mice as a Tool for Investigating Mammalian Developmental Defects Description of Technology: In vertebrates, mutations in different ribosomal protein subunits result in a variety of phenotypes, suggesting unique and perhaps extra-ribosomal functions for these proteins. DiamondBlackfan Anemia (DBA) is a ribosomal protein disease, in which the bone marrow fails to produce red blood cells. NHGRI investigators recently generated a mouse line with a mutation in small ribosomal protein7 (Rps7), known to be involved in DBA. This line named Zuma (made with the use of the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)) carries a point mutation in exon 7 of Rps7, which is predicted to cause a substitution of a conserved amino acid (pY177S). The mutation results in the disruption of ribosomal biogenesis, as well as in abnormal skeletal, melanocyte, and central nervous system development. Thus, the Zuma line can be used as a model of DBA, as well as a tool for investigating other defects of mammalian development. Potential Commercial Applications: • Animal model of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA). PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Research tool to study other mammalian developmental defects. Competitive Advantages: Not available elsewhere. Development Stage: • Prototype. • Pre-clinical. • In vitro data available. Inventors: William J. Pavan and Dawn Watkins Chow (NHGRI). Publication: Manuscript submitted. Intellectual Property: HHS Reference No. E–294–2012/0—Research Tool. Patent protection is not being pursued for this technology. Licensing Contact: Betty B. Tong, Ph.D.; 301–594–6565; tongb@mail.nih.gov. Collaborative Research Opportunity: The Mouse Embryology Section of the National Human Genome Research Institute is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to further develop, evaluate, or commercialize Diamond-Blackfan Anemia therapies. For collaboration opportunities, please contact Claire T. Driscoll, Director, NHGRI Technology Transfer Office, at cdriscoll@mail.nih.gov or 301–594– 2235. Magnetic Resonance Arterial Wall Imaging Methods That Compensate for Patient Aperiodic Intrinsic Cardiac, Chest Wall, and Blood Flow-Induced Motions Description of Technology: The technology includes MRI methods, systems, and software for reliably imaging vasculature and vascular wall thickness while compensating for aperiodic intrinsic motion of a patient during respiration. To overcome the loss of the orthogonality due to uncompensated residual motions and after a lapse of time equal to the trigger delay commenced at the cardiac cycle, the system acquires multiple consecutive time-resolved images of the arterial wall. The cine images are processed offline and a wall thickness measurement is produced. The method improves arterial wall imaging by increasing the success rate of obtaining good and excellent quality images and imaging slice-vessel orthogonality. The method also provides more precise wall measurements and a more distinct difference between healthy subjects and patients. The methodology and system can be applied to any commercially available MRI scanner. Potential Commercial Applications: • Early detection of vascular disease, • Research in the field of vascular disease, E:\FR\FM\23OCN1.SGM 23OCN1
