A new allele at the patch locus in the mouse

Abstract
SUMMARY: Evidence is presented for the existence of a new allele at the patch locus called patch-extended (symbol Phe). Crosses of Phe with Ph, Wv and Rw produce double heterozygotes that are different from those resulting from the original patch allele. Besides the different coat colour in these mice, all the Wv + / + Phe animals that were tested resembled Wv + / Wv + and proved to be sterile. However, the two patch alleles interact to produce a split-face phenotype which resembles the presumed Ph/Ph.
