hm1

• Allelic Composition: lt/lt
• Genetic Background: involves: DBA/2J

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

integument

abnormal coat appearance ( J:15247 )

• at week of age coat is oily and hair forms small mats

abnormal hair texture ( J:15247 )

shiny fur ( J:15247 )

• fatty fluid replaces normally air-filled hair shaft and creates shiny look

• appearance is comparable to satin mice although adult coat may be uneven and more oily than shiny

• maintenance of glossiness is background dependent: on C57BL/6J background classification becomes difficult with diminishing glossiness

abnormal hair shaft morphology ( J:15247 )

• hair shaft is twisted and indented with irregularly spaced medullary cells

abnormal zigzag hair morphology ( J:15247 )

• tend to septulate, are thicker and have reduced number of constrictions

curly vibrissae ( J:15247 )

• identified at birth by thin, short, curled whiskers

• lose curliness with age but remain irregular
