| Primary Identifier | MGI:1856114 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
| Gene | Oca2 | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
| Strain of Origin | Asiatic fancy mice | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Oca2p is a very old mutation carried in many varieties of fancy mice (J:12958). It has been suggested that the original mutation occurred in Japanese wild mice, Mus musculus molossinus (J:19782). |
| molecularNote | A nonsense substitution was identified to account for the phenotype. It is a C-to-T substitution in exon 7 in the codon for the 262nd amino acid of the OCA2 protein (p.R262*). |
