Mutation description

Allele Type: Targeted (Humanized sequence) Mutation: Insertion Mutation details: Exon 1 was replaced with one in which the CAG trinucleaotide repeat is expanded to 42 copies. Flp-mediated recombination removed the FRT-flanked neo cassette inserted downstream of the modified exon 1. (J:188118)
