Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: CXB5/By

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Viral insertion
• Mutation details: An insertion of a 491-bp mouse leukemia virus long terminal repeat (MLV-LTR) sequence into intron 10 results in aberrant alternative splicing of the transcript with exclusion from most mature mutant mRNA species of exon 8IIIb, which encodes the domain required for specific binding to FGF ligands in developing prostate and seminal vesicle mesenchyme. (J:119935)
• Inheritance: Recessive

Expression

4 anatomical structure(s)

Find Mice (IMSR)

• Mouse strains and cell lines available from the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
• Carrying this Mutation: Mouse Strains: 1 strain available Cell Lines: 0 lines available
• Carrying any Fgfr2 Mutation: 90 strains or lines available

Notes

This recessive autosomal mutation apparently occurred early in the inbreeding of the Essex CXB recombinant inbred lines, as the abnormality was not present in either of the parental strains, C57BL/6ByEss or BALB/cByEss, but is present in both CXBI/ByJax and CXBI/ByLac J:9441.
