Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Bsk (bare skin) is an autosomal dominant mutation linked to the Krt 1 (type 1 keratin) locus of mouse chromosome 11. The adult Bsk mouse manifests hair loss and corneal opacity. To identify and characterize the keratin genes involved in this mutation, we examined the hypothesis proposing that the Bsk mutation might involve a recombination event between cornea-specific (K12) and hair-specific (mHa 1, 2, 3...
