| Genetic information | Dominant mutation on chromosome 1, gene Crygb (a 11 bp deletion combined with a 4 bp insertion in exon 3 of Crygb; frameshift at codon 139 that leads to premature termination at codon 145 and produces a truncated gene product). Disclaimer - Special restrictions: 1) Mutant development was phenotype driven. Although for some mutant lines, linkage data and the molecular characterization of the causative mutation has been published, EMMA has not genotyped the strains and can not provide genotyping protocols. 2) Some lines showed low penetrance of the phenotype. 3) Only sperm available. Rederivation service can not be offered. 4) EMMA quality control standards may not apply for these strains. 5) EMMA has not verified the breeding performance and the genetic background of the strains. The genotype/phenotype of the mice is not confirmed by INFRAFRONTIER/EMMA. We strongly recommend that the recipient confirms genotype/phenotype upon receipt. |
