title: Incidence of inherited enzyme activity variants in feral mouse populations.
abstract: We have screened 173 wild caught mice (Mus musculus) from multiple sites in Europe for variation in the activity of 14 enzymes and found 8 different mutants with low enzyme activity; an incidence of 3.69/1000. This compares with the incidence of 3.26/1000 found for low enzyme activity variants in man (Mohrenweiser, 1981).
