Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: BXD8/TyJ

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Not Applicable
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Mapping experiments identified a 23 kb deletion in the Klra cluster in the BXD-8/Ty strain that contained only the Klra8 gene. This deletion correlated with an increased susceptiblity to cytomegalovirus infection. (J:79093)
• Inheritance: Recessive
