Rate of accumulating CanR 5FOARprogeny. The number in parentheses is the fold increase relative to the standard wild-type rate (3.5×10-10; 16). Numbers in brackets are the 95% confidence interval limits.

**

The breakpoint region is defined as the length between the telomeric end of PCM1 and the telomeric end of CAN1.
