Four base pairs were deleted from the coding region in exon 2 (c.318_321delTGCC), creating an allele with a frameshift mutation and premature stop codon. A loxP site flanked neomycin resistance gene cassette was inserted into intron 2. The mutation mimics a human mutation associated with OS/PDB (osteosarcoma/Paget's disease of bone). (J:335495)
