| Primary Identifier | MGI:1856336 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
| Gene | Fgf5 | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
| Strain of Origin | BALB/cJ | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | Sequences encoding exon 1 are deleted in this mutation. The deletion extends at least 2 kb 5' to the translation start site. Expression of Fgf5 in hair follicles of wild-type mice is localized to the outer root sheath during the hair production phase of the follicle cycle. FGF5 may function as an inhibitor of hair elongation. |
