Cysteine-rich transmembrane bone morphogenetic protein regulator 1 (CRIM1) is a type I transmembrane protein involved in the organogenesis of many tissues via its interactions with growth factors including BMP, TGF-β, and VEGF. In this study, we used whole-exome sequencing and linkage analysis to identify a novel Crim1 mutant allele generated by ENU mutagenesis in mice. This allele is a missense mutation that causes a cysteine-to-serine substitution at position 140, and is referred to as Crim1
