Developmental Stage (applies only to Zebrafish) |
|
Experimental Design |
A PolII-neomycin resistance cassette which lacked a polyadenylation signal was inserted into exon 5 of p53. The insertion was accompanied by a small deletion of a 450 bp fragment containing 106 nucleotides of exon 5 and 350 nucleotides of intron 4.
|
Phenotype |
Mice homozygous for the mutated p53 gene are viable and appear completely normal but are susceptible to the spontaneous development of different types of tumors before they reach 6 month of age, particularly lymphomas and sarcomas.
Heterozygote progeny carrying single wild-type p53 allele rarely develop spontaneous tumors before they are 9 month old.
