Endonuclease-mediated Allele Detail
Summary
Symbol: Gcn1em1(IMPC)J
Name: GCN1 activator of EIF2AK4; endonuclease-mediated mutation 1, Jackson
MGI ID: MGI:6477990
Synonyms: Gcn1-
Gene: Gcn1  Location: Chr5:115703313-115760713 bp, + strand  Genetic Position: Chr5, 56.1 cM

Gcn1em1(IMPC)J/Gcn1em1(IMPC)J embryos are small and growth delayed. E9.5 embryos remain unturned or display incomplete turning, show abnormal yolk sac vascularization, and abnormal head shape and cranial neural tube closure. E10.5 embryos display turning defects, severe cardiac defects, open cranial neural tube and more than 50% lethality.

Mutation
description
Allele Type:    Endonuclease-mediated (Null/knockout)
Mutation:    Deletion
 
Mutation details This allele was generated at The Jackson Laboratory using Cas9 and guides with spacer sequences CTACAGAGCAGGGCTCAGCA and GCTGGTGTAGAGCCACTGGT that targeted exon(s) ENSMUSE00001219534.2 ENSMUSE00001249622.2. This resulted in deletion(s) of 1611 bp (location: Chr5:115712392-115714002; GRCm39). This description was generated automatically. Additional molecular information including FASTA sequence support for this allele can be found here: (IMPC Gene page) and viewed in a genome context here: (IMPC Genome Browser). (J:384794)
