Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Humanized sequence)
• Mutations: Insertion, Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: A targeting construct was designed to insert a loxP-flanked neomycin (neo) resistance cassette upstream of exon 4. A point mutation was introduced in exon 4, resulting in the amino acid mutation, T158A, found in humans carrying the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett Syndrome (RTT). An additional point mutation was introduced at codon 160 to produce a silent mutation that allowed for identification of targeted ES cells. Cre-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette.
