integument
|
• mice homozygous for dark-like and heterozgyous for the mahogany 3 Jackson allele of attractin have a darker coat color than mice homozygous for dark-like and wildtype for attractin
|
pigmentation
|
• mice homozygous for dark-like and heterozgyous for the mahogany 3 Jackson allele of attractin have a darker coat color than mice homozygous for dark-like and wildtype for attractin
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• at 3 months of age 13 out of 17 mice homozygous for dark-like on this background display significant vacuolation in the testes regardless of whether they are heterozgyous or wild-type for the mahogany 3 Jackson allele, and at 6 months of age this is increased to 9 out of 10 assessed

reproductive system
|
• at 3 months of age 13 out of 17 mice homozygous for dark-like on this background display significant vacuolation in the testes regardless of whether they are heterozgyous or wild-type for the mahogany 3 Jackson allele, and at 6 months of age this is increased to 9 out of 10 assessed
|
nervous system
|
• at 2-3 months of age no vacuoles are found in compound heterozgyotes, 2 of 5 dark-like homozygotes wild-type for attractin have vacuolation in multiple brain regions, while dark-like homozygotes heterozygous for mahogany 3 Jackson have a range of CNS vacuolation from undetectable to severe
