Abstract excerpt
A line of mutant mice (114-CH19) exhibiting white spotting and preweaning lethality was identified during an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis screen. The trait segregated as a semidominant bellyspot with reduced penetrance. Homozygous mutant mice showed preweaning lethality, and exhibited white spotting over the majority of the body surface, with pigmented patches remaining around the pinnae, eyes and...
