Primary Identifier | MGI:1934618 | Allele Type | Chemically induced (ENU) |
Gene | Pax6 | Inheritance Mode | Not Specified |
Strain of Origin | BALB/cAnN | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
description | The phenotype in the Pax6Leca allelic series (Leca 1-4) produced a range of similar but variable eye phenotypes, with slightly smaller eyes and occasional adhensions between the lens and cornea.
|
molecularNote | The mutation underlying the phenotype in Leca4 mice was identified as a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 354 of the Pax6 gene. The mutation occurs in exon 6 and introduces the Asn64Lys change in the Paired box domain of the protein. |
