Autosomal Recessive Gene

The autosomal recessive gene muted, mu, which arose spontaneously, dilutes coat and eye colour and causes absence of otoliths in some but not all homozygotes. Its locus is in linkage group XIV of the mouse, and the order of loci was shown to be bg–Xt–sa–mu–f–pe.

Curly-whiskers (cw) is a recessive gene which was found in 1958 by Mr C. J. W. Smith of the Chester Beatty Research Institute, London. It arose in a subline of the CBA/Cbi inbred strain. The first mutant animals were one male and one female in a litter of five. The two mutants were mated together and a sib-mated subline was continued from them in which 500 mice were bred, all of which were curly-whiskered. This established the mutant to be fully penetrant. Curly-whiskers resembles the hair-waving genes in causing waving of the vibrissae, but it has no obvious waving effect on the hairs of the coat. The coat texture is, however, slightly abnormal and Mr Smith noted also that on the CBA background there was an appreciable darkening of the coat colour. Homozygotes (cw/cw) are easily classifiable soon after birth by the curled vibrissae. Heterozygotes (+/cw) often have slightly curled vibrissae, and the gene is therefore not fully recessive; but the distinction between +/cw and +/+ could not be relied on, and in the linkage tests cw was treated as a recessive gene.

Autosomal Recessive Gene

An analysis of data from 599 Merino sheep has provided clear evidence that a condition of goitre, existing on 26 properties spread throughout the more closely settled parts of South Australia, is simply inherited. It is suggested that the condition is due to the action of an autosomal recessive gene whose action shows high penetrance and variable expressivity, and is accompanied by manifold phenotypic effects themselves equally variable in expression. This suggestion accords well with biochemical studies of goitrous sheep taken from among this sample. This study is continuing.

The natural history of hereditary hepatitis in long-survived LEC rats was reported. Among 56 (female: male, 28:28) LEC rats of F30, 16 (8:8) (29%) died of fulminant hepatitis approximately four months after birth. The remaining 40 (20:20) rats that survived more than one year developed chronic hepatitis and subsequent hepatic lesions including hepatocellular carcinomas. Further study made with 32 F31 rats killed at the age of five months revealed that hepatitis occurred in all of these rats. Genetic analysis performed by various crosses of LEC and LEJ rats confirmed the previous result that hereditary hepatitis was caused by a single autosomal recessive gene. F1 hybrid rats never developed hepatitis, showing normal histology of the liver. Histological features of hepatitis in F2 (F1×1) and backcross (F1×LEC) rats were the same as those observed in the LEC rats. The preneoplastic foci also appeared in some of these hybrid rats at the age of eight months. We propose a gene symbol hts to designate the present hepatitis which is assumed to be homozygous in LEC strain rats.

The Cross

A new mutant with shivering, Hula dance Sendai (tentatively named hus gene), was found in the IVCE strain. A congenic strain, C57BL/6JJcl- hus, was established by the cross-intercross method using IVCE- hus as the donor strain and C57BL/6JJcl as the recipient. No significant differences were observed in the age of the onset of shivering and life span between B6- hus and IVCE- hus mice. Genetic analyses demonstrated that this mutation is governed by an autosomal recessive gene ( Mbphus) and is an allele of the Mbpshi gene (Chr.18)

Summary1. The overwhelming majority of cases of alkaptonuria are consistent with the hypothesis that this disease is determined by a single autosomal recessive gene substitution.2. The observed proportion of alkaptonurics in recorded fraternities with two normal parents and the incidence of consanguineous parentage conform quantitatively to the requirements of Mendelian hypothesis in a system of random mating.3. There appears to be an alternative form of alkaptonuria which is dominant.Grateful acknowledgment is made to Sir Archibald Garrod for advice regarding the sources consulted.

SUMMARYA new autosomal recessive gene (cab, ‘cardiac abnormality’), which affects heart differentiation appeared spontaneously in our mouse colony. The affected homozygotes die approximately half a day prior to birth or at term, with the myocardium exhibiting vacuolation and large areas of mesenchyme-like cells. A significant finding in mutant foetuses is the lack of histochemically detectable glycogen.
