Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: Kunming

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: The mutation is a G to A transition point mutation at position 489 in exon 3. This alters codon 163 from one encoding a tryptophan to a stop codon, resulting in premature truncation of the last 16 amino acids of the protien. (J:77271)
• Inheritance: Recessive
