Abstract excerpt
The mouse mutant curly tail is thought to be inherited as an autosomal recessive (ct/ct) with incomplete penetrance so that approximately 60% of ct/ct individuals exhibit the curly tail (CT) phenotype. By outcrossing ct/ct with mouse stock carrying specific heterozygous combinations of Robertsonian (Rb) chromosomes, trisomy 16 (Ts16) and Ts19 mouse fetuses (and their chromosomally balanced littermates) were...
