Brief communication. Head spot and dilute mutations in the Norway rat

R Robinson

St Stephens Nursery, St Stephens Road, London W13 8HB, UK

A mutant allele of a new white spotting locus in the Norway rat is described, which is designated as head spot hs. The allele is inherited as a recessive to normal. The expression is regularly manifested and has the form of a white spot of variable size in the middle of the forehead just above the eyes. A probable reoccurrence of blue dilution coat color is also reported. Tests for genetic linkage for hs indicate that it is independent of the agouti, dilute, and hooded loci.
