We have analyzed two novel mouse mutant strains, Rco12 and Rco13, displaying a wavy pelage and curly vibrissae that have been identified in an ENU screen for dominant mutations affecting the pelage. The mutations were mapped to mouse Chromosome 15 and identified as missense point mutations in the first exon of the Krt71 (formerly called Krt2-6g) gene causing alterations of amino acid residue 143 from alanine to...
