Abstract excerpt
A new autosomal recessive mouse mutation, causing loss of hair in homozygous mice 2-3 weeks after birth, arose spontaneously in a colony at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Mill Hill, London in early 1998. Complementation analysis confirmed that this mutation was an allele of the hairless gene (hr). The gene symbol hr(rhbm) (hairless-rhino-bald Mill Hill) was assigned to reflect the source of...
