The frizzy (fr) mutation in Mus musculus affects hair structure and formation. Early studies demonstrated that the gene responsible for frizzy assorts to mouse Chromosome 7 along with pink-eyed dilution (p), chinchilla (cch), and shaker-1 (sh-1). ...
Frizzy (fr) is a spontaneous recessive mutation in mice characterized by curly vibrissae, a disheveled coat and short hair (Snell 1951). Previous linkage analysis located the mutant fr allele on Mus musculus Chromosome 7 (Falconer and Snell 1952)....
