This mutation resulted from a spontaneous deletion/inversion event that removed exon 2, containing the initiation codon, from the leptin receptor gene. Splicing of the mutant transcript joins exon 1 to exon 3. While there is an initiation codon in exon 3, it is not in frame and its use leads to immediate termination of translation. (J:171755)
