pigmentation
• light colored ears
|
• grey coat color
|
• light colored tails
|
• dark eyes
|
• increase in the percentage of both multivesicular and type II/III melanosome forms (immature forms) and a relative lack of elliptical type IV forms
• most fully pigmented melanosomes are spherical
• striated forms of melanosomes were elongated, but irregularly shaped and only approximated ellipsoidal shapes
|
• cortical and medullary pigment are reduced
• pigment granules in hair are smaller and not clumped
|
cellular
• significantly higher activity in kidney of the lysosomal enzymes, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, and N-acetyl-beta-hexoseaminidase
(J:6470)

immune system
• lower natural killer cell activity
|
hearing/vestibular/ear
• light colored ears
|
limbs/digits/tail
• light colored tails
|
vision/eye
• dark eyes

craniofacial
• light colored ears
|
behavior/neurological
• mutants exhibit increased sleeping time and prolonged bleeding times after treatment with pentobarbital, tribromoethanol, or the steroid anesthetic alphaxalone
