  BAC subclone contains a contraction to 15 GGGGCC repeats

• Mutation details: The transgene construct was designed using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone derived from fibroblasts of a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), carrying the human chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 gene (C9orf72) with a hexanucleotide repeat expansion (GGGGCC) in the intron between the alternatively-spliced non-coding first exons 1a and 1b. The BAC isolated a ~166 kbp sequence (~36 kbp human C9orf72 genomic sequence, with ~110 kbp upstream and ~20 kbp downstream sequences). Upon amplification of different BAC subclones in bacteria, the repeat expansion underwent contraction in some clones. A BAC subclone with a contraction to 15 GGGGCC repeats was used. (J:228731)
