Some genetically engineered and mutant mice strains have a mutation associated with a specific human disease. If the gene or mutation is orthologous to that in humans and causes the same disease in humans, the strain is designated as a model of the human disease. Manifestation of the genetic mutation (phenotypic expression) may differ between humans and mice. Investigators are strongly encouraged to research recommended mouse models to be sure they are appropriate for their research.
