pigmentation
• some yellow pigment is found in hairs originating on or behind the ears
• mice have a black dorsum and yellow or cream belly; at is dominant to A allele on the ventrum but recessive to A on the dorsum (J:22600)
• belly of animal is white, cream, or tan (yellow) in color; hairs originating on ventrum may be frequently nonpigmented, possess yellow pigment or are predominantly yellow with black bases compared to A/A mice (J:78801)
• Aw is dominant to A and all lower alleles (J:78801)

Pigmentation phenotype of the Tbx15de-H/Tbx15de-H ae/ae mouse

pigmentation
• the thin stripe of yellow hair that normally separates the dorsal black hairs from the ventral cream hairs in at mice is extended dorsally and the boundary between the yellow and the black hairs is fuzzier
• resembles pattern of a black-and-tan (at) mutation
• abnormal dorsoventral pigment patterning with proportion of body circumference occupied by the lateral region increased 2-fold over normal patterning and the proportion of the ventral cream-colored region expanding a small amount, 47.9% compared to 37.8% in at

craniofacial
• elevated skull contributes lowered ear position with pinnae projecting laterally

vision/eye
• results in widely spaced eyes
• small palpebral fissures noted

growth/size/body
