Approximately 2100bp deletion that includes the mir-252 pre-miRNA sequence. The deletion also removes 120bp of the side-IV 3'UTR, but expression levels of the side-IV mRNA appear to be unaffected (when assayed using RT-qPCR). Generated by imprecise excision of P{GT1}BG01009.
The breakpoints of the mir-252IM11 deletion generated by the imprecise excision of P{GT1}BG01009 are reported as 3R:13464065..13466148 .
mir-252IM11/mir-252IM11 and mir-252IM11/mir-252KO adults have a significantly increased body weight compared to controls.
