Description

These mice carry a spontaneous, dominant mutation at the Kit locus characterized by white spotting on the feet, tail, and belly in heterozygotes and embryonic lethality in homozygotes.

Detailed description

This deletion is a dominant mutation causing white spotting on the feet, tail, belly, and occasionally elsewhere. Homozygosity is embryonic lethal. On the C57BL/6 background approximately 60% of heterozygous females have a closed vagina. The ovaries from these heterozygotes are normal and fine for transplantation. On the C57BL/6 background in the presence of the Y^AKR/J Chromosome (available from Stock No. 007250), Kit^W-19H heterozygosity results in sex reversed XY females.
