Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: BJR

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Chemically induced (ENU)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: A single A to T transversion in a splice acceptor site of an 84-bp exon results in the use of a cryptic splice site located 7-bp into the exon and generates a 7-bp deletion with a premature truncation or skips the entire exon and creates an 84-bp internal deletion removing 28 amino acids. (J:53404)
• Inheritance: Recessive

Notes

Homozygotes are runted, act nervous, and usually die before 4 weeks of age. Hemizygous males have sperm defects similar to p^6H, namely: multiple acrosomal vesicles and nuclei conjoined by a single acrosome. Heterozygote males are fertile with morphologically normal spermatogenesis (J:26849).
