The mouse pink-eyed dilution locus, p, located on chromosome 7, mediates coat and eye color. The human correlate of this gene may underlie some forms of tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism. Mutations at the p locus result in a reduction in pigmentation of the eyes and coat. Although most mutant p alleles (including all spontaneous mutations) affect only pigmentation, several mutant alleles (all radiation...
