On an agouti background gri homozygotes resemble Tyrc-ch homozygotes. There is a graying of the coat due to a lighter than normal phaeomelanin band. There is no change in eye color. gri homozygotes are slightly smaller than their unaffected littermates. Homozygous females breed well, but homozygous males often do not breed. Testis biopsies failed to identify any sperm abnormalities. The gri mutation does not cause a clotting disorder. (Davisson et al., 2000.)

These mice carry the spontaneous gri mutation and are characterized by grey coat color.

Typically mice are recovered in 12-16 weeks. Contact Customer Service to place an order or for more information.
