Abstract excerpt
The genotype-phenotype relationship in mice was examined experimentally using one of the small eye mutants, Pax6(Sey-4H), which deletes the chromosome 2 middle region, hemizygously. The genotyping indicated that the deleted region starts at a site 102.60 Mb from the centromere and has a length of 6.51 Mb, in which 12 known and 27 novel genes are located. Expecting the development of myeloid leukemia,...
