A spontaneous mutation resulted in the the deletion of a single G nucleotide from the GGGGG sequence in exon 3. This mutation causes a frame shift and premature stop codon in the first third of the 14 predicted exons. Western blot analysis confirmed the absence of protein expression in whole eyecups.
