  (MGI:1860283)

• Mutation details: The transgene was designed to have the modified ~6.5 kbp mouse Thy1.2 promoter (Thy1 sequences extending from the promoter to the intron following exon 4, excluding exon 3 and its flanking introns) followed by a cDNA sequence encoding the full-length, wildtype human ubiquilin 2 protein. UBQLN2 missense mutations are linked to dominant inheritance of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Founder line 356 was found to have ~1.5-3.5 copies of the transgene. (J:239510)
