C17C3.8 Homozygous. Outer Left Sequence: ccagttccgcctgtaacatt. Outer Right Sequence: ttgccacgactggatattga. Inner Left Sequence: actcacctctgcaactgcct. Inner Right Sequence: agtgtcacacgctgagatgg. Inner Primer PCR Length: 2179. Deletion Size: 983 bp. Additional information from Casonya Johnson 3/2005: the deletion is 983 bases, from base 2254 to 3237 on the cosmid C17C3. The gene C17C3.8 is on the opposite strand, and its coding region is from bases 3237 to 3616. The deletion occurs within the second exon of the gene, so that the first 105 amino acids of the protein are still made. This region contains one of the two HLH domains produced by this protein but eliminates the second one. The first stop codon would allow another 19 amino acids to be added to the peptide. I have pasted the sequence below (the red, underlined sequences are the new nucleotides).
