description
Allele Type:    Spontaneous
Mutation:    Single point mutation
 
Mutation detailsRT-PCR analysis of this allele revealed a missense C-to-T change at coding nucleotide 409, which results in a substitution of the Arg-137 residue with a Trp residue (p.R137W). (J:22207)
Inheritance:    Recessive

Notes
Lethal spotting mutant mice usually die in the third week of life from the megacolon abnormality, which is associated with deficiency of intrinsic ganglion cells in the lower colon. A few homozygotes may survive and breed.

Other alleles of this gene serve as models for WAARDENBURG-SHAH SYNDROME. This allele was not studied in this context.
