Genetic Alterations
ENU-induced T to A transversion at base pair 94,345,990 (v38) on chromosome 15, or base pair 119,429 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000081 for the Adamts20 gene. The mutation corresponds to residue 2,116 in the mRNA sequence NM_177431 (isoform 1) within exon 13 of 39 total exons and residue 2,116 in the mRNA sequence NM_00164785 (isoform 2) within exon 13 of 28 total exons. The mutation results in a cysteine (C) to serine (S) substitution at position 619 (C619S) in both Adamts20 protein variants.
Phenotype

Homozygous: Homozygous pikachu animals displayed a variable belted phenotype.

Heterozygous: No abnormal phenotype detected.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms

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
MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains.
