Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:4849372

• Allelic Composition: f/f; Kit^W/Kit⁺
• Genetic Background: FL/1Re-Kit^W/J

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

growth/size/body

decreased body weight ( J:24610 )

• although slightly reduced in body weight relative to controls this is less severe than in flexed-tail homozygotes wildtype at the Kit locus

hematopoietic system

abnormal erythrocyte cell number ( J:24610 )

• the reduction in erythrocyte cell number at birth is less severe than in flex-tail homozygotes that are wildtype at the Kit locus and by 7 days of age the count is higher than normal and this persists

decreased hematocrit ( J:24610 )

• decreased at birth, but closer to normal values than in flexed-tail homozgyotes that are wildtype at the Kit locus

decreased mean corpuscular volume ( J:24610 )

• from birth onward more severe decrease in erythrocyte volume than in flexed-tail homozygotes wildtype at the Kit locus

pigmentation

white spotting ( J:24610 )

• the amount of white pigmentation is greater than the sum of the white pigmentation of the distinct mutants, with females having an average of 54.7% white on the ventrum and males having an average of 59.7%

integument

white spotting ( J:24610 )

• the amount of white pigmentation is greater than the sum of the white pigmentation of the distinct mutants, with females having an average of 54.7% white on the ventrum and males having an average of 59.7%
