Abstract

An autosomal recessive mutation affecting hair and eye plgmentation was discovered in the F2 progeny of wild-type deer mice, (Peromyscus meniculatus), trapped near East Lansing, Michigan. When homozygous, the mutation (designated as blonde, bl), reduces both black and yellow plgmentation deposited in the fur, reduces or eliminates plgmentation in the non-follicular melanocytes of the outer ear, perl-orbital skin and tall, slightly reduces the amount of plgmentation in the choroidal melanocytes, and completely eliminates plgmentation of the retinal epithelium.
