Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6J

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Endonuclease-mediated (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology was used to generate a deletion of exons 2-11 of the gene. Immunoblot analysis confirmed the complete absence of protein expression in the neural retina and testes of homozygous mutant mice. (J:336106)

Notes

Phenotypic Similarity to Human Syndrome in Orthologous Human Gene: (CONE-ROD DYSTROPHY AND HEARING LOSS 1; CRDHL1).
Cep78^em1Xjg homozygotes provide a mouse model of a type of syndrome involving Cone-Rod Dystrophy (CRD) and male infertility. CEP78 dysfunction induces similar phenotypes and ultra-structure changes in human and mice, including disturbed ciliary structure in photoreceptors, multiple morphological abnormalities of sperm flagella (MMAF), and aberrant spermatid head formation (J:336106).
