Modeling DS in mice has been challenging since the orthologs of Hsa21 genes map to separate segments of three mouse chromosomes, Mmu16, Mmu17, and Mmu10. Although the early Ts65Dn mouse model exhibited various DS phenotypes, the duplicated fragments were randomly generated by ionizing radiation and did not include all Hsa21 orthologs. In 2004, the successful use of the Cre/LoxP recombination technique in chromo- somal engineering in the construction of the Ts1Rhr mouse strain solved the problem of duplication of specific chromosome segment, resulting in the establishment of specific DS mouse models with accurate triplication of particular genes an
