Abstract excerpt
Pluridigite ( Pdt) is a semi-dominant mutation obtained after a mutagenesis experiment with ethyl-nitroso-urea (ENU). The mutant exhibits abnormal skeletal pattern formation characterized by the formation of extra digits (polydactyly) in the preaxial (anterior) part of the hindlimbs. The phenotype shows incomplete penetrance, depending on the genetic background. In an F2 cross with C57BL/6, the phenotype could...
