| Primary Identifier | MGI:1856095 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
| Gene | Mitf | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
| Strain of Origin | C57BL/6J | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Mitfmi-vit homozygotes show a slow progressive loss of photoreceptor cells, cosegregating with the gradual depigmentation (J:28910). Details of the degenerative process have been studied extensively (J:25135). |
