Notes

This spontaneous mutation appeared in a BALB/cBy-scat colony at The Jackson Laboratory. The scat and sfx mutations were separated from each other by backcrossing BALB/cBy-scat mice to BALB/cBy mice and observing F2 offspring for those that exhibited the sfx phenotype but not the scat phenotype.
