Tail short variable: characterization of a new mouse mutant, and its possible analogy to certain human vascular disruption defects.

Abstract excerpt

A new mouse mutant, tail short variable (Tsv) produces a reduction deformity of the tail, growth retardation, and, in adults, a mild anemia. Genetic and embryological studies show that on all genetic backgrounds there is variable viability of Tsv/Tsv and Tsv/+ and phenotypic overlap within these and with +/+. A modifier is located to a short segment of chromosome 7, which alters the tail length of Tsv/+ mice up...
