Mitf^mi-ew
Spontaneous Allele Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Mitf^mi-ew
• Name: melanogenesis associated transcription factor; eyeless white
• MGI ID: MGI:1856094
• Synonyms: mi^ew
• Gene: Mitf Location: Chr6:97784013-97998310 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr6, 45.05 cM
• Alliance: Mitf^mi-ew page

Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6Bn

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: A-to-T transversion four nucleotides downstream of the exon 6b donor site. This mutation is likely to be sufficient to abolish normal splicing, leading to exon skipping and an mRNA missing exons 6a/6b. (J:21366, J:62098)
• Inheritance: Recessive

Notes

Mitf^mi-ew, eyeless white, recessive. This mutation occurred spontaneously at the University of Kansas. Homozygotes have white coat color. The eyes are undeveloped and eyelids never open. Heterozygotes with various other Mitf mutations have been described (J:30755). The DNA lesion is a deletion of a portion of the Mitf gene, including the basic region (J:21366).
