Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6J

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Endonuclease-mediated (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: TALEN methodology generated a 41-bp deletion in exon 1. This deletion was expected to produce a truncated peptide with 36 amino acid residues. However, Western blot analysis showed no protein in cochlea or the retina. (J:274170)
