| Primary Identifier | MGI:1855933 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
| Gene | a | Inheritance Mode | Dominant |
| Strain of Origin | C3H/HeJ | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| description | The Avy allele arose spontaneously in the C3H/HeJ strain. Heterozygotes (Aiy/a) are sootier than Ay/a and are often indistinguishable from A/a. They do not have the mottling often observed in Avy/a. Homozygotes are viable, as are Avy/Ay and Aiy/Avy (J:13441). Genbank ID for this mutation: S74469 |
| molecularNote | This allele is the result of a 1 kb intracisternal A particle (IAP) transposon insertion. Genomic Southern hybridization analysis places the insertion just upstream of exon 2. |
