  1. ENU, N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea.
  2. The candidate gene, base change and amino acid change are indicated. Supplementary Information details whether (a) if this was the only medium or high-confidence coding mutation in the minimal mapping region and (b) where genetic complementation with a knockout allele has been carried out. We list the existing alleles documented on MGI along with the current phenotypic associations derived from MGI. The number of PubMed hits obtained by the gene name or synonyms is also provided.
