hm1

• Allelic Composition: Krt27^Re-wc/Krt27^Re-wc
• Genetic Background: Not Specified

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

integument

abnormal hair growth ( J:15247 )

• cycles of normal hair regrowth with partial dorsal loss begins between 18 and 26 days of age

waved hair ( J:15247 , J:100076 )

• all hair types are affected (J:15247)

• waviness is seen two days earlier than in the heterozygote and is more pronounced (J:100076)

abnormal hair shaft morphology ( J:15247 )

• the shaft of all hair types is irregular

• hair calibre and and septation of medulla varies continuously

• hair shafts twist and bend with parts showing swelling, flattening and longitudinal indentations

• both medulla and cortex have areas of dense pigmentation; where medullary structures break down, pigment aggregates on cortical ridges or is scattered

abnormal vibrissa morphology ( J:100076 )

• whiskers are more curved and irregular than in heterozygote
