This phenotype was found to be caused by a recessive mutation, designated longjohn (lgj), that mapped to the proximal region of chromosome 15. Several years later, a mouse with a similarly elongated body was identified in an outbred stock after chemical mutagenesis with ethylnitrosourea. This phenotype also was caused by a recessive...
