hm1

• Allelic Composition: ro/ro
• Genetic Background: RIII-ro

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

pigmentation

abnormal coat/hair pigmentation ( J:92 )

• the albino coat is off-white due to less medullary air space in the hair

integument

abnormal coat appearance ( J:92 )

abnormal coat/hair pigmentation ( J:92 )

• the albino coat is off-white due to less medullary air space in the hair

matted coat ( J:92 )

• greasy hair sticks together in bundles

greasy coat ( J:92 )

• greasiness of hair surface is likley due to fluid-filled medulla air spaces

abnormal hair shaft morphology ( J:92 )

abnormal hair medulla ( J:92 )

abnormal hair medulla air spaces ( J:92 )

• medullary air speces are smaller due to abnormally thick septa

• Background Sensitivity: water filling spaces does not dry out giving albino mice an "off-white" appearance

abnormal hair medullary septa cells ( J:92 )

• medullary cells create thicker than normal septa

wavy vibrissae ( J:92 )

• Background Sensitivity: degree of waving is genetic background dependent
