The Y chromosome from certain populations of M. m. domesticus is incapable of normal testis determination in the B6 inbred strain resulting in XY hermaphrodites or XY females (XY(DOM) sex reversal). B6 consomic strains have been developed with either transient (B6-Y(AKR)) or severe (B6-Y(TIR)) XY(DOM) sex reversal. We report that a point mutation, the dominant white spotting oncogene allele, Kit(W-42J),...
