phenotypes
All alleles(7) : Targeted, knock-out(1) Targeted, other(1) Spontaneous(4) Chemically induced(1)
Homozygotes for some mutant alleles show low prenatal viability and cardiovascular defects. Most mutants show darkened coats, reduced zigzag hairs and, depending on the allele, sparse abnormal hair and edema. Heterozygotes show similar or milder defects.
