Provider affiliation | Molecular genetics, LIMES Institute, University of Bonn |
Genetic information | A point mutation in Gjb6 (Cx30) was introduced leading to an exchange of alanine to valine in position 88 of Cx30 (Cx30A88V). The ubiquitous expression of Cx30A88V is under the control of the endogenous Cx30 promoter. Additionally a IRES-NLS-LacZ reporter gene was introduced, monitoring the Cx30A88V expression. |
Phenotypic information | Hyperproliferative sebaceous glands, mild hyperkeratosis, hearing impairments. |
