Summary

• Symbol: t^w5
• Name: t-complex; t, wild 5
• MGI ID: MGI:1856570
• Synonyms: tcl-w5, t-complex lethal w5
• Gene: t Location: unknown Genetic Position: Chr17, Syntenic

Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: wild-derived

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutations: Inversion, Nucleotide repeat expansion
• Mutation details: This t haplotype includes a mutation in Vps52, Vps52^t-w5 that inserts 2 G nucleotides at the start of exon 2 in a stretch of consecutive G nucleotides (9 in the wild-type C57BL/6 sequence) resulting in a frameshift mutation that generates a premature termination codon. The mutation in Vsp52 is responsible for the embryonic lethal homozygous phenotype in this haplotype. (J:190873)
• Inheritance: Recessive

Notes

This homozygous lethal allele originated in a mouse caught in the New York suburbs. It suppresses recombination and is a member of the complementation group: t^w5 ,t^w6 ,t^w10 ,t^w11 ,t^w13 ,t^w14 ,t^w15 ,t^w16 ,t^w17 ,t^w37 , t^w38 ,t^w39 ,t^w41 ,t^w46 ,t^w47 ,t^w74 ,t^w75 ,t^w80 ,t^w81. T/t^w5 phenotype is tail-less.

Embryos homozygous for t^w5 arrest at gastrulation and exhibit defects in proliferation/differentiation of embryonic ectoderm.
