The novel neurological mutant Cincinatti arose by genomic duplication of exon 5 in the glycine receptor gene Glra1. The mutant transcript results in premature protein truncation. A direct repeat of the pentamer GGGGC is present adjacent to the breakpoints and may have mediated the duplication event by a replication slippage mechanism.
新型神经学突变体辛辛那提(Cincinatti)是由甘氨酸受体基因Glra1中外显子5的基因组重复产生的。突变转录本导致蛋白质过早截短。在断点附近存在五聚体GGGGC的直接重复序列,可能通过复制滑移机制介导了重复事件。
