Abstract
We report the identification of an autosomal recessive mutation in the Norway rat that causes an almost complete absence of normal hair. The mutation, named shorn (gene symbol shn), is distinct from fuzzy, hair less, and Rowett nude, and is not closely linked with any of these mar kers or with albino.
