Characteristics

Segregates for compensating microcytic anaemia. All mk/mk are born alive; one-third to one-half die before 3 weeks, developing skin lesions and tail amputation, but surviving mk/mk are fertile and appear normal except for supernormal numbers of very small erythrocytes. Haematology well characterised (Staats, 1976).
