Abstract excerpt
Mutation within the Mitf gene causes, in microphthalmic Mitf(mi)/Mitf(mi) (mi/mi) mice, multiple defects, including white coat color and functional defects in macrophages and osteoclasts. Our previous mating experiments have demonstrated that the mi mutation reduces the numbers of newborns and in...
