description
Allele Type: Spontaneous
Mutation: Transposon insertion
  This mutation is allelic to a targeted mutation for this gene. Homozygous mice produce approximately 25% of the normal levels of transcript from this allele. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that no alterations in the coding sequence would result in any alteration of the amino acid sequence. A 5.5 kb retrotransposon-like element is found in intron 1. About 75% of the mRNA produced is an aberrant 6.5 kb form lacking exons 2-6 but containing exon 1. The remaining 25% of the mRNA formed is of normal, 4.4 kb, size. (J:22206, J:56133, J:110573)

Notes
Also called piebald spotting. This is a very old mutation of the mouse fancy, and was described in the scientific literature as early as 1920 (J23183). Some piebalds in existing stocks may be of independent origin. Homozygotes show irregular white spotting, the amount of which is greatly influenced by minor modifying genes (J:12952). Homozygotes have dark eyes. The white areas of the coat are completely lacking in melanocytes, and there is a reduction in the number of melanocytes in the choroid layer of the eye (J:15014, J:12970). There may also be defects in the structure of the iris, suggesting that pigment cells make some structural or inductive contribution to normal development (J:13123). Homozygotes may develop megacolon which is always associated with lack of ganglion cells in the distal portion of the colon. The incidence of megacolon is also affected by minor modifying genes (J:15014). Pigment cells and enteric ganglion cells of the colon are both derived from the neural crest, and Mayer (J:12725) has shown by explantation of embryonic tissues that the defect leading to white spotting is in the neural crest rather than in the skin. The defect probably consists of failure of pigment cells to differentiate in certain tissue environments rather than in failure to migrate (J:5036). The distribution of white areas in the skin and other organs is probably due to normal regional differences in these tissues in capacity to support pigmentation and not to regional heterogeneity among the pigment cells themselves (J:5220, J:5036, J:5060, J:5782). The piebald mutation was shown to be linked closely with Hr (J:299), later mapped to Chr 14 (J:52911). The localization has been refined in studies of induced mutations, using an intersubspecific backcross (J:16291).
