Abstract excerpt

We have reported the finding of a new mutation at the dwarf locus, named dwarf-J, gene symbol dwJ, in the C3H/HeJ inbred mouse strain. The C3H/HeJ-dwJ/dwJ mice are like DW/J-dw/dw mice in that both homozygotes are virtually devoid of GH in either pituitary glands or serum. Lifespan of dwJ/dwJ mic...
