Blm^tm2Brd
Targeted Allele Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Blm^tm2Brd
• Name: Bloom syndrome, RecQ like helicase; targeted mutation 2, Allan Bradley
• MGI ID: MGI:2158669
• Synonyms: Blm^m2
• Gene: Blm Location: Chr7:80104741-80184896 bp, - strand Genetic Position: Chr7, 45.65 cM
• Alliance: Blm^tm2Brd page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:66261
• Parent Cell Line: AB2.2 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1^b-m2

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: Three copies of a targeting vector inserted into the gene. The authors predict that an aberrant transcript containing 4 copies of exon 3 is made. However, western blot analysis on protein extracts of testes demonstrated that no detectable protein was produced from this allele. (J:66261)

Notes

Other alleles of this gene serve as models for Bloom Syndrome. This allele results in embryonic lethality and could not be studied in this context.
