| Primary Identifier | MGI:1856628 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
| Gene | Dtnbp1 | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
| Strain of Origin | DBA/2J | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The mutation in the sandy mouse has been attributed to a deletion in the Dtnbp1 gene from intron 5 nucleotide 3701 to intron 7 nucleotide 12377. The deletion results in the loss of 52 amino acids from position 119-172 and abolishes expression of the protein. Western analysis did not detect protein in hippocampus tissue from homozygous mutant mice. |
