Genetic Alterations
ENU-induced A to T transversion at base pair 56423352 (v38) on Chromosome 7 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000073 encodingthe Oca2 gene. The mutation corresponds to residue 2424 in the NM_021879 mRNA sequence in exon 22 of 24 total exons. The mutation results in a tyrosine (Y) to phenylalanine (F) substitution at residue 765 in the OCA2 protein.
Phenotype

Homozygous: Mice have a light gray coat with red eyes.

Heterozygous: No abnormal phenotype detected.

Strain Development
Original mutant was a C57BL/6J G3 ENU-induced mutant; all subsequent crosses to maintain strain were on C57BL/6J background only.
Suggested Control Mice
Wild-type littermates or C57BL/6J mice
