| Primary Identifier | MGI:3760001 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
| Gene | Chn1 | Strain of Origin | C57BL/6 |
| Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Genbank sequences for this mutation: AB264771, AB264772, and AB264773 |
| molecularNote | A retroposon insertion into exon 9 resulted in deletion of exon 9 (174 bp) in the alpha1 and alpha2 transcripts, and deletion of four nucleotides (including the putative initiation codon) and failure of intron 9 splicing in the alpha3 transcript. Partial rescue of the locomotor phenotype with an alpha-chimerin Tg was used as evidenct that Chn was the causal gene of the mutation. |
