| Primary Identifier | MGI:1856071 | Allele Type | Chemically induced (other) |
| Gene | Mgrn1 | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
| Strain of Origin | C3H/HeH x 101/H | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| description | A second mutation at the Mgrn1 locus was found in the F2 generation of a mutagenesis experiment with caffeine. Homozygotes are black with black pinna hairs and curly whiskers and have reduced viability (J:15051)(J:15072). mdnc/md mice have straight whiskers and are darker than md/md but not as dark as mdnc/mdnc mice (J:13791). |
| molecularNote | No transcript was detected by Northern hybridization, and a T to A mutation was found in position 2 of intron 9 of this null allele. |
