molecularNote | Exon 1 was replaced with exon 1 containing a lysine to glutamate substitution at amino acid 228 (K228E) and a loxP-flanked neomycin selection cassette. Cre-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette. This mutation was identified in a male with autism spectrum disorder. Whole-brain levels of TBR1 protein are increased about 2-fold and 6-fold in heterozygotes and homozygotes, respectively. |
