| Primary Identifier | MGI:2155891 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
| Gene | Cacng2 | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
| Strain of Origin | BALB/cJ | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The phenotype of the stargazer 3J mouse has been attributed to an early transposon (ETn) insertion into intron 2, approximately 2 kb downstream from the site of the ETn insertion that gave rise to the original stargazer mutation. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that in addition to two aberrant transcripts generated by the insertion, some normally spliced mRNA was detected, suggesting that this mutation does not represent a complete null allele. |
