Primary Identifier | MGI:1856538 | Allele Type | Chemically induced (ENU) |
Gene | Qki | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
Strain of Origin | BTBR | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
description | A number of lethal mutations were induced in the t region of Chr 17 using ENU. One such mutation, labeled l(17)1Wi, was found to survive in heterozygous state with the classic Qk mutant (which the authors refer to as qkv to emphasize its viability). The l17 symbol was then changed to qkl-1 (J:9032). |
molecularNote | The mutation underlying the phenotype of the Qkl-1 mouse has been attributed to an A to G transition at nucleotide 2783, resulting in loss of protein isoform QKI-5. |
