Abstract excerpt
YPC is a mutant mouse strain with defective hair growth characterized by thin, short hairs and poorly developed hair bulbs and dermal papillae. To identify the gene associated with the phenotype, we performed genome-wide linkage analysis using 1010 backcross progeny and 123 microsatellite markers covering all chromosomes. The mutant locus (ypc) was mapped to a 0.2-cM region in the proximal part of mouse...
