Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C3HeB/FeJ

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Chemically induced (ENU)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: A C to T transition at 1051 bp resulted in the Q285stop substitution in exon 8, immediately before the central dynamin-GTPase. This mutation lead to ~50% reduction of protein in retina and all tissues in Western blot. (J:100122, J:121779)
• Inheritance: Not Specified
