Mutation description

Allele Type: Targeted (Humanized sequence) Mutations: Insertion, Single point mutation Mutation details: Exon 3 was replaced with one in which an A to G transition results in the amino acid transition of arginine to glycine at position 120 (R120G), mimicking a mutation associated with cataracts and desmin-related myopathy (DRM) in humans. Cre-mediated recombination removed the floxed neo cassette inserted downstream of the modified exon 3. (J:171679)
