Background
involves: C3H/HeSn
Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Paf mutation (1 available); any Paf mutation (1 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
integument
• coat of homozygous females is darker and shinier than heterozgous females
• homozygous females lose less juvenile hair than hemizygous males so hair is slightly less sparse than seen in a hemizygous mouse

Paf mutation (1 available); any Paf mutation (1 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
integument
• heterozygous females have a variable striped or patchy coat, consistent with random inactivation
• coat appears to be striped black however dark color is the black base of hairs revealed by adjacent hair loss

Coat appearance of Paf/Y and Paf/Paf/ mice

reproductive system
• mating pairs involving Paf/Y males produce a female to male ratio, 62.1 : 38.9
• 12.1% of female offspring produced by Paf/Y males are 39, XO

integument
• at 10 days the coat is darker than normal and shiny
• between 12 and 30 days of age hair loss is evident with progressive loss until only long guard hairs; no underfur
• guard hairs later become bristly, coat sparse with areas of hairlessness around the eyes, skin clearly visible through fur
