A New Mutation (t-int) Interacts With the Mutations of the Mouse T/t Complex That Affect the Tail

A new recessive mutation affecting tail length is described. It is unlinked to the T/t-complex on chromosome 17 and yet it shows cumulative phenotypic effects with several t-complex mutations: T, TCu, tct and Fuki. It does not interact with five different nonchromosome 17 mutations that affect tail length. Thus, t-int is a tail modifier with surprisingly specific interactions.
