  point mutation results in the amino acid substitution of serine for arginine at position 838

• Mutation details: The transgene contains a 4.2-kbp mouse rod opsin gene fragment (harboring the promoter region and the 0.3-kb BGH polyadenylation signal-containing fragment) driving retinal expression of the human gene carrying a point mutation coding for the amino acid substitution of serine for arginine at position 838 (R838S). Lines 379 (slow) and 362 (faster) were generated. (J:237633)
