ZFIN Get Gene Alleles

Get alleles and variants for a zebrafish gene from ZFIN via the Alliance of Genome Resources. Returns mutant alleles with variant types (deletion, insertion, point mutation), molecular consequences, and phenotype/disease associations. Zebrafish genetics benefits from large-scale mutagenesis screens producing thousands of alleles. Example: 'ZFIN:ZDB-GENE-990415-8' (pax2a) returns alleles like szu2 (deletion) with start_lost consequence.
