Gene Affected
Origin
Downunder (Du) mutation is introduced into ACI/ Kyo strain.
Strain characteristics
When Downunder mutation is introduced into hooded mutation (Kit
) rats, melanocytes are distributed on ventral skin. ACI rats are homozygous for Irish mutation (Kit
) and have white spots (Irish spots) on their ventral skin. This "ACI.Cg-Du/Kyo strain does not have ventrai white spots. Du/Du homozygous rats are embyonic lethal.
Breeding Conditions
Good breeding performance.
Genotyping
Causative gene is not identified
