Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: ICR

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A phenotypic mutant that arose in an outbred ICR colony at the National Institute of Health (Japan) in 1986. This is the main causative gene producing nephrosis in the ICGN strain. An 8 base pair deletion in exon 18 (from nucleotide 1477 to nucleotide 1484) is predicted to result in a premature stop codon and protein truncation. Tenc1 expression is significantly decreased in all organs of ICGN animals. (J:108691)
• Inheritance: Recessive
