Down syndrome is caused by trisomy of human chromosome 21 (Hsa21). The understanding of phenotype-genotype relationships, the identification of driver genes and various proof-of-concepts for therapeutics have benefited from mouse models. The premier model, named Ts(1716)65Dn/J (Ts65Dn), displayed phenotypes related to the human DS features. It carries an additional minichromosome with the Mir155 to Zbtb21 region of mouse chromosome 16 (Mmu16), homologous to Hsa21, encompassing around 90 genes, fused to the centromeric part of mouse chromosome 17 (Mmu17) fromPisd-ps2/Scaf8 to Pde10a, containing 46 genes, not related to Hsa21...
