| abstractText | Full text of MNL contribution: Research news: 2. Dominant mutation affecting eyes, external ears and feet. This mutation appeared in the offspring of an irradiated male. Heterozygotes invariably have microphthalmia and often, in addition, reduced pinnae. Homozygotes appear to be eyeless and have oligodactyly of the hind feet (usually 3 toes, occasionally 4). They are of very small size and most die around 12 days of age; none has survived to weaning. The pinna is present and very probably reduced in size, but, because of the early death, no accurate comparisons with heterozygotes can be made in this respect. (Phipps) |
