Mutation description

• Allele Type: Chemically induced (ENU)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: A C-to-A transition mutation in position 623 of the coding sequence results in the phenotype in the pardon mouse. This mutation is predicted to cause a threonine to lysine substitution in the homeobox binding domain at position 208 of the encoded protein. (J:89093)
