Abstract excerpt

We provide evidence for a genetic link between the adrenocortical X zone and the agouti (a) locus on chromosome 2 in the segregating inbred mouse strain SM/J. This strain has been established and maintained while keeping heterozygosity (Aw/a) at the a locus and is, therefore, of advantage in asse...
