Characterization of the pleiotropic effects of ten new putativeWlocus mutations, nine co-isogenic and one highly congenic with the C57BL/6J strain, reveals a wide variety of influences upon pigmentation, blood formation and gametogenesis. None of the putative alleles, each of which is closely linked toPh, a gene 0.1 cM fromW, gave evidence of complementation withW39, a new allele previously shown to be allelic toWv. AllW*/W39genotypes resulted in black-eyed-white anemics with reduced gametogenic activity.1Homozygotes for seven of these mutations are lethal during perinatal life; anemic embryos have been identified in litters produced by intercross matings involving each of these alleles. —Phenotypes of mice of several mutant genotypes provide exceptions to the frequent observation that a double dose of dominantWalleles (e.g., W/WvorW/W) results in defects of corresponding severity in each of the three affected tissues. One viable homozygote has little or no defect in blood formation, and another appears to have normal fertility. The phenotypes of these homozygotes support the conclusion that the three tissue defects are not dependent on each other for their appearance and probably do not result from a single physiological disturbance during the development of the embryo. —Although homozygosity for members of this series results in a wide range of phenotypes, the absence of complementation of any allele withW39, the close proximity of each mutant toPh, and the fact that all alleles produce detectable (though sometimes marginal) defects in the same tissues affected byWandWv, support the hypothesis that each new mutant gene is aWallele.
