Blind-sterile: a new mutation on chromosome 2 of the house mouse.
The inheritance and developmental effects of a new recessive mutation in the mouse, blind-sterile (bs), are described. This mutation causes lenticular cataracts and glossy coat in males and females and sterility in males due to arrested spermatogenesis. Blind-sterile is located on chromosome 2, near agouti.
