Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Deletion
• Mutation details: This mutation arose spontaneously at the Jackson Laboratory in 1998. It was shown to be an allele of Mc1r by a noncomplementation test with C57BL/6J-Mc1r^e/J. A single bp deletion at position 856 (NM_008559.2) that results in a frameshift and premature temrination after 10 codons (per. comm. Dr. Ian Jackson).
• Inheritance: Recessive

Notes

Unpublished data from Dr. Ian Jackson (The University of Edinburgh) found a single base pair deletion at position 856 (NM_008559.2) that results in a framshift at codon 143 (NP_032585.2) and termination after 10 codons.
